W-hen the fullness of time had come, Jesus was born behind an Inn in a cave-like stable.
I-n the Inn there was no room for the Son of God, no room for the Saviour of men.
S-tar was shining so bright above the stable for the shepherds to find their way to Him.
E-ven angels proclaimed His birth to those shepherds "Unto you is born this day."
M-anger is where Mary and Joseph first laid him. It was filled with hay.
E-very animal there must have known that their Creator had come that day.
N-o one knew the depth of love God had, to give His Son to dwell among men.
S-ame star guided three kings from the Orient, who studied the stars and heavens.
T-hese wise men from the East came saying "Where is He that is born King"
I-n their hands they brought him gifts of gold, frankincense and myrr.
L-ike these three wise men, wise men still seek him today!
L-ove is the reason that God sent His only Begotton Son into the world to save us.
S-eeking for you and me, yes God was seeking for us because we had left Him.
E-veryone, yes, all we like sheep have gone astray. Everyone to his own way.
E-ach one has to make his on decision to follow Him or not to follow Him.
K-ing, born to be a King. King of the ages. King of the past. King of the future.
H-eaven, He came from Heaven to earth to show us the right way.
I-niquity, the Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all.
M-elody, He gives us a sweet melody, we sing many songs of praise to Him.
T-ree, A Christmas tree, the love that Jesus had for us, to die on a tree.
O-nly one life and how soon it passes. Only in life can we accept His Love.
D-eliverance, He came from Heaven to preach deliverance to the captives.
A-cknowlege Him and accept Him. Behold now is the accepted time.
Y-ou, Yes, this Christmas Love was for You. Will You accept this love?
For Brian Strands Christmas Love contest.

Strange colored skies climb northernly this night
Calling our future with wild deamons eyes
Abscure as the creatures who answer the call
Wild are the answers of the reasons and the faults
Certain as the well swept winds
Alluring in it's grasp fought negatively through single wins
I pray twords the skies and it curdles and swims
Thoughts twords the sun and it scorches my rims
Carry me far enough I can be within your sights
Stash us away and the sun will be bright
Motors may break but oceans will be light
I will stay on the coast and wait
The award I will do is make the evening a minute late
Parched is the gulf as the single minute breaks
Great is the second docks a seperate mans gate
The Earths crust slowly begins to crumble
It quivers, then quakes, it slowly opens, the rivers break
A star is born somewhere, a beautiful new star
Great is the struggle, born from the heavens a small light it makes
The new star pulls, it turns, then it feeds and it's fuel it burns
Gently it orbits following all things it understands
The new star bends it dances it stands
Tancing outwardly as creations comprehend
A continient wavers as the new star binds its brand
It feeds off of our oceans as our tides wash in
It goes just as softly forward and back
As the rays of its placement barrow up to the sun
We watch very carefully because it's damages are already done

“Well,” She asked; her eyes wide. Beads of hot sweat glistening on her brow like miniature
crystal suns. Her angst was palpable. “What is it!”
The air was still. There were no words. Just the sound of bodies breathing in – and
holding.
“Congratulations.” He held out his arms, handing the mother, her baby, “You have a son.”
The moment shone like glass in the center of the heavens – pure and eternal.
It was redemption from every wrong thing she’d ever done.
It was the shining eyes of God smiling onto her exhausted face; lighting it with hope.
It was the only place there was – the only time, the only space.
It was the only feeling that existed.
They were the only two incarnate souls in the room; on the planet, and in the universe.
This was her child –
her son.
And she was his mother.
(there are no words for such things. suddenly, I feel like an intruder. there are too many
eyes, words and moments here. so it is here, I take my leave; leaving this mother and the
only soul in her universe to their perfect moment. they will have many more moments in this
lifetime; but none as sacred, as human, or as eternal as the first look from life to life;
mother to child; heaven to earth, as the very first. None.)
“It’s a boy.” she whispered. Her throat a crumbling tunnel; stunned, but not really. Like
she’d known it all along. “My baby boy…” She smiled into his ancient, brand-new face;
tracing his delicate cheek with the back of her finger. “He’s perfect.”
She ran her palm along the bottom of his soft, miraculous foot, and laughed. “Look at
your feet – they’re huge!”
And as she wiped the tears with the heel of her shaking hand – smearing what was left of
her mascara - she looked in to his, as close to heaven as one can get, eyes, and said, “Hi.
I’m your mama.” He smiled at her. He knew. He’d known it all along. “And I’ll love you
forever…”
The world closed its shades then. Leaving the sacred to its history; the moment to
eternity; and their universe to its quiet, little room.
*Inspired by Deborah's, You Must Have Been A Beautiful Baby, contest; and every mother
who has graced this sacred room.

Exquisite, this expectation as dusk
mellows each ruffle on her robe de style*,
warm her expressions, candid, unrushed
for lake waters return that sunny smile.
A hem trails the shore with tulles of twilight,
overcome, the hush of angels almost cries
at grace in upsweeps and poise held as night
steals her away with a sorrowed sigh.
Dark this vista til she yields her jewels,
moonstone and topaz, citrine and ruby,
all her wisdom to forever unfurl
in fireworks, a blaze of poetry.
Love left its mark, Heaven is now altered
by a flourish that brightens even the stars.
*** We will miss you, Linda Marie, but your poetry, light, love of life, will continue to live on... GODSPEED....
* A Robe de style is a long gown with a wide, billowing skirt

Oh sky look down on this earth of gray,
Something dreadful on the horizon looms.
There is no black and no white today,
Laws exist but justice is doomed.
Morality is labeled religion,
And must be separated from state,
Whose own religion is political correctness
And determining God's fate.
Oh heaven rain down on us,
Ae are tasting your tears.
Yes we've become that bad,
Confirming your fears,
That what has been done ,
Is being done again,
Those lessons taught,
Coming to naught.
Judges and laws make it legal,
To be rid of your innocent babes,
Under a symbol of the eagle,
God's loving justice betrayed.
Racheal you cry the tears,
That now only heaven supplies,
Because ours have dried,
In the dust of our alibies.
Excuses and lies are linked,
As you and I know well,
The truth is all but extinct.
Truth is foreign to hell.
Oh heaven, look down on this world of gray.
Something dreadful is watching and looms.
Is there nothing left but to watch and pray,
While Rachael wails by the dumpster tombs?

The Boatman’s Song 6/Many
Indra again tried to convince Urveshi
But, here in heaven, Urveshi
Even the flowers are born, never to fade and die
Unlike the humans on earth, who hardly gets a
Chance to bloom fully and smile
One day on earth, you would find Urveshi,
You no longer remain the same
And there would be no time for you, to repent then
But today, you have all the time to think and rethink on it
I am giving you sometime, Urveshi
As you are my most dear and beloved
Among all the Apsaras of heaven
You dwell in my mind and soul, like the most precious
Among all, my own bodies heart
You think and rethink on your desire
To go or not to go to earth
To listen the songs of the boatman
Whom you are missing so much
Urveshi, you are the most beautiful
And the most charming Apsara of heaven
Gifted with extraordinary heavenly powers
But your visit to earth
May diminish or even finish your heavenly powers
If you ever go close and touch the boatman
Even for a moment to praise his songs
This would end your blessings of heaven and
You may not be able to come back to heaven
Inner Conflict of Urveshi
Cautioned by Indra, Urveshi pondered and pondered
To which way she should go?
Should she hear the voice of her heart
Or follow the instructions of her mind
Her heart was crying to meet the unseen boatman
And her ears were longing to listen
The heart stolen melodies of the boatman
Floating in the air on earth and echoing even in heaven
She felt that her very existence was incomplete
Without the songs of the boatman
And without meeting that unseen dweller of her heart
Perhaps her beauty was formed
By the blessings of God
So that, one day she may find the other half of her part
But then her mind intervened, while she was
Listening the voice of her heart
And asked her, can she afford to bear the loss
Of the glory of her name and fame
Which has brought her laurels, crowns and applauses
Can she forgo that she rule the hearts of everyone in heaven
And above all, the heaven has given her the sublime gift of
Evergreen Youth

Dedicated to my Dad Jerry W. Niday 3/20/1952 - 6/18/2013
I am who I am because of him
He’s the reason for my son’s name
He gave me my courage & my strength
To stand tall even when standing wasn’t easy
Stand for the ones who can’t
To think and fend for myself
I’m my Daddy made over
Taught me to fight back
To never back down
How to pick myself back up
When I’ve been knocked down
Fight for what I believe
I’m my Daddy made over
He gave me my stubbornness
Gave me my pride
Gave me my temper
Taught me not to take crap
To speak my mind no matter who
Work for what I want
I’m my Daddy made over
How to keep my emotions in check
How to handle large amounts of pain
When in trouble he always had my back
He knew how my mind worked better than anyone
I got it from him
I’m my Daddy made over
Even though he’s gone
I’ll stand and continue on
I may stumble I may fall
May even get hurt along the way
But I’ll pick myself back up
I’ll dust myself off and stand tall
I’m honored and proud to say
I’m my Daddy made over

I’m tired
I’m Physically and Emotionally tired
I don’t want to be the strong one anymore
I can’t this time
I don’t know what to do Daddy
I need your help down here
I can’t get back in control of my emotions
I’m having a hard time dealing with your absence
I’m having a hard time standing by myself
I need your help Daddy
I’m broken and lost without you Daddy
I need your will to want to carry on
I need your strength to over come this
I need your strength to stay standing
Your courage to fight back again
I need your help
Please Daddy I’m at a loss
How am I suppose to do this
I need your guidance
I need you to guide me back
To whom I was before
I need your help Daddy
I need your help

I am the hypocritical Christian.
I say I follow Christ,
But I'm still consumed by my demons.
I go to church on Sunday,
But I refuse to invite someone back.
I want to serve on mission,
But I'm too afraid to act.
They think I read The Bible,
But I just fall asleep in it.
They think I'm positivity and smiles,
But underneath I'm death and addictions.
They think I'm clean and pure,
But I'm broken and mistaken.
I say I'm not worthy of His love,
But Jesus will never let me be forsaken.
I pray long prayers,
But inside they're empty repetition.
It might look as if my faith is strong,
But my core is too easily shaken.
I say the things I'm supposed to say,
But don't follow His actions or obey.
I speak the truth the church wants to hear,
But deep inside on matters I don't know what to believe.
I walk in shame as if I'm not good enough
To be loved by God and saved through Christ,
But there is nothing I could ever do to earn His peace;
It's a free gift.
I accept;
Now forgiven, changed, and released.
Thank You God,
Thank You Jesus,
Thank You Holy Spirit!
In Jesus' Holy Name,
We pray,
Amen!

I never knew following dreams could be this lonely,
But up on the hill, looking back, thank God I'm not the old me.
If the tears will fall, let them be;
I believe this is God's plan, follow your dreams.

We knew , it was if a moment stopped in time
hearing the news before most of the World did
He loved to fly his plane from Colorado to Monterey Bay
He was a avid golfer at Pebble Beach respected
He had loves and passions from many places
deciding to fly low through the overcast red sunset
Not only did he love music and inspire all
He loved his Plane , he will always remain a beautiful Soul
The next day it was confirmed ..all saddened
It was John Denver's plane that went down
Today in Pacific Grove stands the Memorial
So Kiss me and smile for me we will ~
always in loving memory
OH babe , do we hate you go ~

I miss you dad every single day
The wonderful Times I remember
Are the times we spent together going
To dinner and church
The times I will cherish always on this earth
Your gentle ways and smiles and hugs
Made Life worthwhile for this is true
Forever you are missed in my heart and soul
But the forever is Heaven and you are there basking
In the Light of the Lord
I miss you dad and loved you so much
But eternity is yours to no longer hurt
Cancer is what took you far too soon
I am always remembering your hugs and
I loved you so much too.
Eternity is there for you now and forever
Remember I love you and Kisses from here
to you in the forever they call Heaven from earth

A beautiful heart pines from afar.
To parallel freedom, we choose our master.
In Love, the Dragon and Unicorn are!
Celestial winged heart beats faster,
Over mountain and ocean meet polar eyes.
To parallel freedom, we choose our master.
Embarking from sun brewed and moonshine skies
Two alien races, in war, collide.
Over mountain and ocean meet polar eyes.
All brothers' swords raise, marching with pride.
Sisters of heaven let feathers fly.
Two alien races, in war, collide.
The angered clouds rain blood from the sky.
A new path finally found.
Sisters of heaven let feathers fly.
Brothers' swords low now to the ground.
A beautiful heart pines from afar.
A new path finally found.
In Love, the Dragon and Unicorn are!
In universe
Out bound energy
Where are we when we die?

Twigs
Flowers bloom
And flowers wilt.
Flowers blush
And flowers fade.
The eternity is only in me-
The twig that bears the flowers.
Sparrows are born
And sparrows die.
Sparrows fly
And brighten the sky.
That who nurtures sparrows is me-
A cozy make of a twig upon a twig.
The sun fades
And moon is born.
The twilight blurs
And moonlight spreads.
All the soothing moonlight beams are me-
A crisscross of unfathomed twigs.
Whether in its birth
Or in its death;
In the heart
Of its heart;
The entire beauty is none but one-
A design of mysterious twigs.

Oh! Those whom I loved and cared that left this world
Enjoying the bliss of heaven when my heart wreaths in pain
Free from anguish and agony and attitudes apathetic and cold
Away from burning sunlight of hatred, ruthlessness and strain
My loving parents and my little sister departed one by one
The infinite mercy of the Creator granted them joy of heaven
For me the luscious trees of love gave way to burning sun
The path of life turned thorn infested, rocky and uneven
The lustful demons of merciless world waiting for me on way
My only weapon, my resolute, indomitable will
With God behind my relentlessness I conquered life in a sway
Lonely nights followed crowded days dreary, dreadful still
Then showered on me God’s sagacious and profound recompense
Through love and compassion my beleaguered soul thrived
On desert of life came the rain-filled clouds of loyalty of friends
Roses bloomed, nightingale sang, life’s elegance revived
But happy days are shorter than the morning dew’s life
You Manzoor, Arif, Marghub,.Nisar, Mehmuda, Ismat, Harry and Jo.
Who were spared the pains of this world of conflicts and strife.
Tranquility of heaven is your destiny, Aftab, Ferreira and Remigio
Your abode has elegant pink shadows and golden sunlight
Fragrant rivers and gardens with flowers of colors unseen
Pebbles of emeralds and rubies present the sight’s delight
Gushing fountains, silvery lakes, hills and valleys ever green
These bounties are rewards of goodness and your virtuous deeds
Your kindness, your compassion, and your illuminated soul
The Creator, most merciful and benevolent gifts beyond one needs
More than lofty aspirations and much beyond your goal.
Happy though I am for you I must still complain
Why you chose to desert me; why you left alone
The leaping flame of loneliness is my destiny again
The path to eternal bliss you took, to me you should have shown

I remember a riding pony I had as a lad which was born blind. A filly she was born during an
Arkansas blizzard and we did not know that she was blind at first for we kept our horses in our
barn for several days because of the winter storm. We all had fallen in love with her by the time
we learned she was blind and could not bear to put her down. I remember training her to ride
after she was mature enough and I named her “Pet” for she was my riding pony.
We spent many happy days together riding inside the green pastures.
I remember she never refused to let me ride her even the first time. And she learned very
quickly to respond to my voice and she trusted in every command that I gave her.
I would say, “easy Pet” when we would come to rough terrain or an eroded ditch in the
pasture. She would slow to a careful walk, in response to my voice.
I would ride her down into the lower part of the pasture to the creek in hottest part of the day.
Pet could of course smell the water and when she would come near the bank of the creek I
would again say, “easy Pet” and she would respond by slowing to a snail’s pace down the steep
bank.
Pet would wade out about belly depth into the water where she would drink her fill of the cool
clear water. And I would use her back as a diving board launch and swim to my heart’s delight.
After she was through drinking I would climb on her back again and give her head to her and
she would trot to the barn where she knew I would give her treats, such as carrots, apples,
sugar cubes and so on.
I remember I never did have the heart to make her run full speed as
I supposed that her blindness was burden enough in her life for her to bear.
It is said of truth that one gets to keep in heaven those things of this life that were loved sufficiently.
I know that my beloved Pet shall be my precious playmate again in the heavenly ethereal of the Spirit.
Pet lives on even now in the depths of my childhood memories. Her loving low neighs as she
approached me by smell, and her nuzzles into my pocket for the sugar cubes she knew would
always be there for her. In heaven I shall see my Pet again, and this time she will see me,
maybe for the first time.
For and in honor of Carol Brown
and Contest.

Here I lie beside you
My heart goes thump.thump.thump.
My soul dances inside you
Reveling in the texture of your own.
Electric and flowing
The currents of our love
Glow like neon lights
Illuminating the hope in my eyes.
Though we're not moving
I feel so incredibly alive
Invincible to my past
Untouchable by all who lack
That gentle touch of when
You lean in and brush my face
Your lips grazing my skin
Softer than a butterfly.
And then you gaze into my eyes
I fall into your depths
Twirling like the autumn leaves
Melting into your smile
Your soul reminiscent of summer.
You pull me into your arms
And for a moment I'm lost
Breathless and in awe
Staring in the face of pure exquisite love
And there you are - holding it
Glowing in the moonlight of my stare.
My heart beats - its drum pounding away
Echoing a song thats lost its words
I touch your cheek and smile
My hands cant stay away
My lips s l o w l y, draw near yours
Hovering, and then -
Part, a soft warmth against them.
My eye lids pulling shut
Dragging me into a silent heaven
I pull away - and what seemed millennia
Lasted only a moment, a second in time
But this is our love
This is what you do to me
You make me invincible and fragile
Lost forever in a beautiful reverie.

Bob had been a lonely man ever since
His wife of fifty years had passed.
“Lord, let me join her.” he would pray.
“Let this day be my last.”
Each day, he went to the cemetery,
Just a short walk down the street.
After their talk, he would water her flowers
And hear passers-by whisper, “How sweet.”
One gray and misty morning,
He had hoped for sunnier skies
To plant fall bloomers at her graveside;
But, there, to his surprise…
Stood an old dog beside her stone;
Thin and dirty, but he struck a handsome pose.
He whined as Bob approached, as if to say,
“I could use a friend, you know.”
He sat calmly as Bob planted flowers,
Carefully sniffing each one Bob put in place.
Then, after the last one was planted,
He sniffed it; then turned and licked Bob’s face.
Bob smiled. “I had a dog when I was young…
Pal…he was a mighty good one too.
So, if you don’t mind old fella,
That’s what I’ll call you.”
Pal may have been an old dog,
But he was smart and handsome in his way;
So they made a deal, Bob would give him a meal
And a bath, if he decided to stay.
Pal loved his bath, then rolled in the grass.
He slept on a blanket in the den.
In the night, he dragged it next to Bob’s bed.
He intended to be Bob’s best friend.
Pal was such a good dog, housebroken too;
Never made a mess or got in trouble.
He knew about newspapers, slippers and Frisbees;
And when Bob called, he ‘d come on the double.
Yes, Pal gave Bob’s life new purpose.
A special bond of friendship was cast.
And never again did Bob pray,
“Lord, let this day be my last.”
For twelve years, the very best of friends,
Together night and day;
And so it was, until one night,
Both quietly passed away.
The next morning, an old woman,
Tears welling in her sad and lonely eyes,
Brought flowers to her husband’s grave;
But there, to her surprise….
Stood an old dog beside the stone,
Thin an dirty, but he struck a handsome pose.
He whined as she approached, as if to say,
“I could use a friend, you know.”
He sat calmly as she took old flowers
And put fresh ones in their place.
He carefully sniffed the fresh ones,
Then turned and licked her face.
She smiled. “I had a dog when I was young...
a good one too. His name was Pal.”

Enter a storybook tale
Where I can be
The heroine you hail
Lucid dreams of soft reflection
A touch heated with lust and desired protection
A breathe a gasp as we succeed
Join the fairytale with me
Valiant night within dark eyes
the right movement and I make them shine
like moonlight on the steamy hot spring
care to follow for a little dip with me
Trailing like the water at my fingertips
Grasp me around my hips
As close as the breeze on my skin
Whisper lies as I let you in
Lips mumbling up my thighs
bare heart exposed to the sky
fire burning in my veins
Am I a mistress of this lust or simply a slave
Trembling with desire
Take me till we've lost count of the hours
enter this storybook tale
Where I can be the heroine you hail

The end of my life the beginning of my death
I shall start to slowly inhale my final breath
Fast forwarding memories race through my mind
There is one in particular that I’m trying to find
Is it of the hottest night or the brightest day?
I really don’t know how could I possibly say
White capped waves to snow capped peaks
As I start to exhale I feel so tired and weak
Funny how everything has started moving so slow
As my mind races to learn what it shall never know
Suddenly everything ceases as clouds fill my eyes
For I have frozen in the memory of you and I
Nothing but darkness here at the end of the race
As my final breath of air softly kisses your face
As I travel through the darkness I feel no fear
I’m lost in the taste from the salt of your tear
They say eternity is no more than an equation of time
Consequences of our life heaven or hell shall define
There is one truthful fact regarding my fate
Our Lord Jesus Christ will meet me at the gate
But I won’t go in that’s something I could never do
There is no heaven for me until I walk in with you
I’ll sit down right there just outside of the gate
I’m certain for you the Lord will let me wait
I know you’ll be mad because I waited so long
Sweetheart you are the message inside of my song
And the message my song shall forever send
It could only be heaven if I have my friend

The Boatman’s Song 5/Many
Where one very rarely finds love, hopes and joy in life
Sometimes, even the noblest souls on earth
Have suffered tortures and pains
Even some have sacrificed their lives in agonies and pains
So that others may see that beam of light
Think again Urveshi think
The ecstasies of the joys and thrills
You have witnessed in the pleasures of
Your dance, music and dwellings
Which no humans can even think of
Would be lost for ever and for ever
And you will also miss the most
Prominent among all
The blessings of heaven to keep you young
And beautiful, without aging for ever and for ever
The charms of youth which you are enjoying here
Would no longer be there on earth
Aging and wrinkles, sorrows and worries would
Evaporate slowly, the glow of your skin and charms
Time would also erode slowly the heart capturing
Beauty of your enchanting eyes and the youthful beauty
Of your rising and falling bosoms
Slowly very slowly your dance steps would miss
The youthful rhythms of your legs
And more slowly your songs will miss
The melody of your tongue and voice
You would also see that your fans here and there
And dear ones too would fly
With the passing of time on earth
Leaving you alone without any one to adore
And no one to praise and to throw even a
Lovely glance on a beauty on decline
The glory of your name and fame
Would get lost with the passing of time
And even the most close to your heart too
Would not stand to console and support you
In the hours of your need and time
Can you imagine Urveshi, such a life?
And such an end of your rejuvenating beauty
And an end of your glorious
Youthful performances of heaven
In the hands of time and mortality on earth,
Here in Heaven you are the queen of
Everyone’s heart
Your ravishing beauty and heavenly youth
And the melody of your songs and dance
Would remain young and evergreen
For ever and for ever
Without ever experiencing, what is an old age
Pains, sufferings and the agonies of departing
From your most dear, near and beloved ones
Which often kills the human hearts
Making them weeping and rolling in tears

"Friend,
Mind wandering through misty woods.
You don't understand your purpose.
Friend,
I knew you too little,
Please do not shed your salty emotions,
Not out of anger, not out of sadness.
Friend,
You now lose your way so easily,
You sink, you burst, you burn inwardly.
You weep from frustrations,
From the guilt of an honest smile,
From pains, that you forget for a moment,
That come swiftly back to haunt you of your loss.
I understand, dear friend.
You once had a light and the woods seek to snuff it out.
Do not fear, dear friend,
Friend follow me, as I once did you.
Friend, now you see?
Yes, you see,
The little wisps in the fog that guide us home."

The Boatman’s Song 2/ Many
Urvashi’s heart was aching to hear and to see the elegance
Of the boatman, while he sing those melodies on earth
A great longing started sprouting in her bosom
To visit the earth and to listen those heart touching songs
Which like a powerful magnet were pulling her towards earth
Where flows the Ganges and lives her unseen love
To control her ever increasing desire of hearing those songs
And to see that unique boatman, who lives on earth
Urveshi tried to engage her more and more
In the courtly dances and engagements for Indra
But the more she wanted to escape, more she became enchanted
By the echoes of boatman’s songs
Which were tearing her heart and
Making her mind almost intoxicated,
By the melodies of those heavenly songs
The pleasures and comforts of heaven began to pinch her
Like the piercing thorns
Even the dance and music, which were her pride and passion
Became dull and charm less in the wake of those songs
For which she was hailed
As the best among all the Apsaras in the entire universe
Heaven seems to bring no joy and rejoicing for her any more
Her dancing steps, which were the symbols of perfection and beauty
Even started betraying her
As her own heart was no longer in her possession any more
And she found that her mind and heart
Were swept away by that unseen boatman
Sailing his boat somewhere on earth
Apsara Urveshi after finishing her dance that day
Told the God of heaven, Indra
That she perhaps can no longer perform any dance
Owing to agonies of her heart and restlessness of her mind
And her legs were not in tune with her mind to perform
A flawless dance and song by which she had captured the
Hearts of all Gods and Goddess, what to say of humans on earth
She thought and thought and found that she can only normalize
If she can hear the songs of the boatman
Singing in full throated ease on earth
The echo’s of which were hovering in her mind like clouds
And twisting her heart to see that singer sublime

1/ To be continued in many parts
It was a different era and it’s a different story
Of a boatman and his enchanting melodies
An Apsara* falling in love with that boatman
But the boatman having a different love story
The boatman used to carry simple villagers
From one bank of the river, to its other bank everyday
While moving his boat on the river
He used to sing those heart touching stories
His voice in itself was a melody
Bestowed on him by the Goddess Saraswati*
And his love songs were the songs of true love stories
Sung by the boatman, in full throated ease and beauty
While oaring his boat in the river side stream
Flowing between a Jungle, on one bank side of the river
And long sand dunes spreading
All over the other non ending side of the river Ganges
Charmed by boatman’s voice and songs
And charmed by the beauty of the enchanting Jungles*
Spread all along the one side bank of the calmly flowing river Ganges
His passengers used to get lost in the melodies of his songs
So long as his boat was moving from the sand bank of the river stream
To its Jungle end every time the boatman carries some passengers
One day the echoes of his melodies crossed
The airy levels of earth and started flowing
Like a soothing cool breeze, even in heaven
And charmed all the heavenly bodies in the court of Indra*
He listened them almost spellbound and became enchanted
By the echoes of those unheard melodies of the boatman
Urveshi* who was a crown beauty among the Apsaras* of Indra*
And was much more than, beautiful and charming
Among all the Apsaras of heaven, found her lost in hearing
The echoes of those love songs sung by the boatman
Urvasi found one day after hearing those echoes
That she was in love with them and became restless
To hear the real songs of the boatman, while sitting before him
In his boat in the river Ganges on earth
Urveshi asked the Lord of Heaven Indra*
If she can go to earth to hear the songs of the boatman
As the echoes of his songs had made her restless beyond imagination
She found that even she can not enjoy the heavenly pleasures
Till she quenches her thirst of listening the melodies
Of that boatman, he was singing on earth

you came to me when i had no one helped me up when i was down
you loved me regardless of my flaws make me smile when you play the clown
you make me see the inner light see deep beneath the skin
to love you more than yesterday is my only sin
and ill love you more tomorrow and the day that follows that
ill love you for eternity living in this cold cramped flat
the riches of the world id trade just for one more kiss
and when your gone the simple things about you that i miss
if you ever leave me my earth angel ill be just skin and bone
feeling so cold and empty feeling unloved and alone
so here comes the honest part i need you like air to breath
maybe i love to easy wear my heart on my right sleeve
if it went you you i would be dead and buried in a shallow hole
you came to me when i needed you and saved my taunted soul
and when i die and go to heaven and stand before the pearly gates
looking round and see my life my family and my mates
but without you heaven is hell and this i am honestly stating
enjoy you life on earth my darling cos in heaven ill be waiting

This is the number that some men dread, and some void
From the intercourse of life. But I, indelibly now, reclaim
Its place in universal order and the sweet conceit of pride
For C13 was the boudoir where our bodies did once flame
Like the poincianna's bloom. Evening was my special time
And the waiting for your knock on the door; O, your smile
Was my hibiscus in that room, your eyes the rose sublime
And your body my lignum vitae, rare, rich and softly mild.
Thirteen is a flower garden to me ... fresh beauty in a seed
And a thousand fruiting trees to come from it, I suckled
The morning glory of your tongue, felt you fed in me a need
For the glory of a seed. From our skin the water trickled
Irrigating dreams of generations to come, and then a drought
Sudden and fierce, and then my sadness through the years
To search for you, in school-less days, everywhere about
To make you grow rich again in the pasture of my tears
And some the number would blame for all the hapless things
But I, my faith to heaven clings, and honor Him for purposes
Unseen, for my life is not an accident, but ever love springs
To make me what I am; our life is as heaven sweet disposes
And in all things I learn to trust and to wait, for the seasons
Of the flowers may go, but his promise like a rainbow remains
My life is beyond mere chance, our love above human reasons
And C13 stays as the cloud that brings sweet summer rains.

The Boatman’s Song 3/ Many
Indra was aware that Apsaras Urveshi
Was the incarnation of heavenly beauty
And her restlessness and impatience can spoil
The very beauty of her body and dance
Which was the pride and embodiment of perfection
He also knew that without Urveshi
Even the heaven would look lifeless, without any beauty
Everyone in heaven had thrown their hearts
To get only one glance of Urveshi’s adorable loving eyes
During her dancing sessions, the junior Gods of Indra used to remain glued
Sometimes forgetting even their breathing
Such was the magic of her beauty, dance and songs
Even Indra often found himself lost in beholding
The flawless figure of her body and her lovely dance forms
And such was her dancing skills that even Apsaras
Used to get lost in the sweetness of her voice
And the thrilling and joy of her skillful dance
Lord Indra’s realization of Urveshi’s feelings
Indra was thinking, whether to allow her to visit the earth
To hear the melodies of the boatman or
Not to allow her, as it could be risky for a woman like Urveshi
Urveshi may get tempted and may fall in love
With that earthly voiced singer, whose songs
Are echoing beyond the horizons of earth
And have reached even in the sphere of heaven
Indra was aware that Urveshi was the most beautiful
Among all the Apsaras of heaven and of the entire universe
And if she keep on worrying about the boatman’s songs
At the cost of her dances, joys and pleasures
It was going to spoil her lavishly bestowed beauty
Which glitters and glow or get pale on a woman
As per the love or longings blows in her heart and reflects on her face

Indra knew this very well that
What ever may be the immense charms of heaven
Hidden in it’s never ending joys, songs and pleasures
There was no match with that of the earthly happiness
Which is found like a blooming Rose bud
Opening its charms and joyful petals of fragrance and beauty
Surrounded all around with thrones like
Pains, sufferings and sorrows of life
But once you possess it, facing the piercing thorns
You bloom in a rare heavenly joy and pleasure
Which even can not be dreamed of by those
Who dwells in the never ending and fading joys of heaven
Indra found that there was no way to stop
The throbbing heart of Urveshi for that boatman
And for his heart touching melodies,
Floating both on earth and heaven
Finding no way out, He thought to put a condition
So that Urveshi may not go finding out
That a visit to earth could end her permanent stay in heaven
For ever and for ever without any returning
Indra cautioned Urveshi
That if she is determined to go to earth
She may go to listen the melodies of that boatman
But she should not go close to that boatman
And should not touch his body
Or else, she would not be able to return to heaven
As her single touch to any human would make her
An Earthly body, which would be subject to
Life and death and mortality
He again tried to convince Urveshi
Your love for the boatman and his earthly body
Can bring an end of your tenure in heaven
Still, if you decide to be a part of that life
I will not stop you to visit the earth, But
You will miss for ever and for ever, your heavenly abode
And your, never ending joys and pleasures of heaven
The moment you will adopt the earthly pleasure
You will be doomed for a normal life and death
As it is availed by humans living on earth
Think Urveshi think again
Can you dare to miss the heavenly comforts?
Its non-ending joys, songs, mirth and pleasures
Where pains and sufferings are not even known
Can you really afford to live on earth, like a normal human?
Where one faces only pains and sufferings
Throughout his life and ends one day in spite of all strife’s

The Boatman’s Song 7/Many
Inner Conflict of Urveshi
While her mind was cautioning her to retain
The comforts and luxuries of heaven
And not to go to earth, which can take form her
The blessings to live in heaven
Her heart again tried to murmur in her mind
Was she really happy? In the heaven sublime
Was not she tired of living in comforts and
Was not she fed-up with the non ending joys?
What was this life without anything to sacrifice
Without the joys of pains and pleasures after sufferings
Where everyone meets, but no one departs
Where everyone sings, but no heart rejoice
Where everything is gained, without ever any loss
Where seasons remain same, without any change
And never the heart moves, to sing a sad song
Where no Koyal* sings, its melodies in spring
Where no flower fades and always remains the same
Where no one feels tired and no one ever retires
Where no one fails and no one wins
Urveshi’s mind felt fed-up with these never ending comforts
Her heart exclaimed in utmost uneasiness and pain
Even these non ending comforts are useless
Without love, loss and gain
Urveshi’s decision
She made-up her mind to at least go to earth
To listen the songs of the boatman first
Songs of the boatman, for which she has fought
So much so, with her mind and heart
Lord Indra’s reaction
When Indra came to know
The decision of the heart of Urveshi
He was stunned for a moment
As the decision was beyond his imagination
His mind could not conceive
That someone can think like this
And can take such a dooming decision
It was beyond his mind and imagination
That Urveshi can decide to leave the heaven
Which is her most prideful possession
And a place for which every one prays
And waits and waits to find such an abode of
Their hearts longings and wishes
Indra knew that without Urveshi
Even the heaven would loose its luster and shine
As its prime beauty would no longer be inspiring to smile
Or would no longer be dancing
To enjoy the songs of Urveshi
Urveshi’s Visit to Earth
While on way to the earth from heaven
Urveshi was still thinking and trying to find a way
How to go close to that boatman’s voice
Whose song echoes had already
Captured her mind and heart so tightly

you make me weak you make me strong....
you make me feel that i belong ...
belong in your life that involves your heart...
cause i knew it was love from the very start...
three types of blood that involves your love...
and the strengh of are family makes me never give up...
sometimes were sad and the pain really hurts...
but the love from four hearts, is heaven on earth!
bleeding inside, but ill stay by your side...
cause true love will never die...
i know your weak and it makes me hurt...
so i pray to my knees with just a few words...
lord jesus, my family is broken and a little sad...
but every born son needs a dad...
i give you my life since the day of my birth...
only if you promise me, heaven on earth!

The Boatman’s Song 11/Many
Many moments passed, but none spoke a word
Or tried to moved away and remained lost
In each other’s thoughts
They were lost in each others beauty and charms
Suddenly they found, they were in each other’s arms
None spoke a word and no one tried to depart
In those most cherished moments, love was showering on them
Thousands of flowers were blooming in their minds
And the fragrance of love was spreading in their hearts
Unknowingly both of them, became so dear to one another
As if, the Goddess of love had blessed them for each other
Those were the most lovely, beautiful and memorable moments
For which one waits for ever and for ever
Life is a strange drama they both were thinking
Where what may happen in the next moments, no one knows ever
In the meanwhile the princess heard a sound coming from a distance
She got alert and made a good distance from the boatman
So that the visitor may not know, for what purposes she was here
But before leaving the boatman, she uttered in her lovely voice,
Few words, which were glued with love,
“My dream man I am princess of this kingdom
I will come back to hear you and your songs very soon some day
But at present I have to go immediately from here
Please don’t ask anything right now from me”
Without a moment’s delay she moved away from there
To a place, where she had left her horse in waiting for her
The Princess rode on the horseback and moved here and there
As if, she had reached on that place, without any purpose
And came because her horse ran speedily and brought her there
She pretended to move the horse towards the direction
From where, on an other horse, her father was coming
He called, O Princess you are here, we were searching you
Every where over there, but could not locate you any where
Very innocently she replied,” O father, I was trying to see the river
And the sand dunes spreading all over here there
And was about to return when you have come over here”

The beauty of that black horse got doubled
With the glittering beauty of the princess on the horse
Who was elegantly riding that black horse beauty
While coming towards the boatman with a speed
He had never seen earlier, when a lady was on a horse
Her shining long black hairs and few locks on her face, were
Blending with the ravishing beauty of her charming face
Which even the sunbeams were trying to penetrate
To kiss her rosy lips and her glowing lovely face
And with each gush of morning beams
A blush came on her lovely face
On which hundreds and thousands can live and die
And can wait for a whole life to see that face
Her body was glittering like a gem
Because of her teenage and beauty excelling her age
And her youth over sprouting from her bosoms
From her princes sly top and riding trousers
She was dazzling the eyes of the boatman
As there was no one else
Who could dare to behold her beauty and grandeur
Which was par excellent, any where on earth
She stepped down from the horse back
With a beautiful sharp jump on the sand
And stood beside the heavenly beautiful horse
She saw the boatman was standing near his boat
And was singing a melody unaware of her gaze
The moment the princess heard that voice
Her heart jumped from her chest
Which had just calmed from thrills
As she had stepped by jumping from the horseback
And her body had calmed only few seconds back
Enchanted and allured by the beauty and heaviness of voice
And totally stunned to see his manliness, so warrior like tight
She forgets her princes sly pride and got lost in adoring
His song and his enchanting voice
Coming from the depths of that singers heart
Suddenly she found herself standing before the boatman
Lost in his heart capturing eyes
There was no one else except these two
And the boatman could not believe
Whether it was a dream or a reality come true
He too was lost in the charms of her eyes
And even forgot to finish the song he was singing
And felt only that someone was penetrating
In his heart and mind, deep some where very deep

Urveshi finding no way out
Remembered her nymph friend Tarang*
She knew that Tarang can help her to find a way
To go close to that boatman, whom she has started loving so much
For hearing those heart touching melodies
Which had changed her life like a magic in heaven
The moment Urveshi remembered her friend Tarang*
The airy Tarang* heard her hearts voice and
Immediately came near her friend Urveshi
She murmured in her ears,
“O Yes, my darling crown princess of heaven,
I am here with you to help you, O immortal beauty divine,
Whose glance only can kill even the bravest of brave kings,
In heaven or on earth, even without a drop of Hemlock wine
The moment Urveshi heard the voice of her nymph friend Tarang*
Smile returned on her face with a blush, which brightens the
Beauty of a woman, irrespective whether she is on earth or in heaven
Urveshi briefed her friend Tarang*
About the longings of her heart for the boatman and his songs
And told her that, she finds no pleasure now in heaven
Ever since she has heard the echoes of the boatman’s songs
Nymph Tarang after listening the story of Urveshi
Told her to wait there only, till she returns after seeing the boatman
Invisible Tarang took leave from Urveshi
And vanished from their on her wings
To see and meet the boatman on earth
Tarang using her extraordinary powers
Located the boatman’s boat, near the bank of river Ganges
She came near the boat, where the boatman was waiting
Looking at the sand dunes, as if he was waiting for something
His face was grim and his eyes were trying to find someone
Tarang got charmed by seeing this wonderful & handsome Youngman
Although till then, she had not heard even a word of his voice
About which her friend got so much enchanted and charmed
That she even left her permanent dwelling place like heaven,
To see him and to hear his songs, on a place like earth
Tarang decided to wait till the boatman moves his boat
So that she may gets a chance to hear those wonderful enchanting
The thing which was left, was reading the boatman’s mind
For which Tarang decided to wait for a while

The distance from Heaven to Hell
is the same as from death to birth,
although Heaven is always above us
Hell has been renamed Earth.
I understand Hell's full of sinners
well there's nobody here without sin,
and we spend our lives fighting off death
though we're grateful for each day we win.
We all want to end up in Heaven
but we're going about it all wrong,
thinking more of ourselves than we do of others
It's been going on far to long.
There is so much love in each of us
and if we realised what it's worth,
we would all put aside our fears and our hate
to make this a Heaven on Earth.

Angels falling
From man's heaven onto man's land
This world is hell, blooming
And blood and fire, and roses
And wounds and pain, and love
And me, fighting again
Feathers swirling
Cut off from darkened wings, bleeding
Sliced and torn in an endless dive
Tears of life, crimson
Sometimes flying, mostly failing
From man's heaven onto man's land
Heaven in hell and hell in hell
Angels bleeding
The bliss of pain, cut me again
Wings I do not want
Bound to a fake sky
Chained to a cruel Earth
Hell everywhere, blooming
Reality, crash into it
And blood and fire, and roses
And wounds and pain, and both
And you, smiling maybe

He loved you too, you know
Loved you like his very own
In away you were
You came into his life as my friend
Through the years you grew to be my brother in arms
Along the way you became the son he never had
He loved you as a friend
He loved you even more as a son
A son he never had
When things began to spiral out of control
You stayed when so many others ran away
You helped when I couldn’t
You meant a great deal to him
You never looked at him differently
Nor did you treat him differently
You stood by his side
When he fell, you stood by his side and mine
You were willing to help me fight his battle for him
You were there from the beginning
You were there until the bitter end
Always remember my friend, my brother
He loved you more than you’ll ever know

The Scriptures teach that there is a Heaven to gain and a Hell to shun !
We Preachers need to pass the Word,
for there are far too Many which have never heard.
The world mocks and says "all my friends shall be there",
The Lord says that there shall be "no parties for them to share".
The rich man asked Abraham to send Lazarus,
The Lord sent Jesus the best He had for us.
Today we think that "the rich man and the wealthy" are truly blest,
The Bible teaches that for all eternity without Jesus they will have no rest...
The beggar Lazarus did not enter Heaven because he ate crumbs and dogs
licked his soars nor because in this life he did suffer,
He entered paradise because he believed by faith what Moses and the Prophets
had offered !
Miracles cannot save nor people rising from the dead will change the hearts of
men,
It is the preaching of God's Word for faith in them to be heard the Spirit to
convince them.
The heat truly is extreme, dark as sackcloth shall be the sight, Mankind shall
scream:
No rest for them, their names forgotten, teeth shall they gnash, no room for them
to even dream...
Will you use your "wealth and lend us your health",
To get the message out for now is the time to "SHOUT" !
God save us all and give us all angels wings:
Help us to bring plenty of persons with us to those gates of pearl,
For we know that Thou doth Love this World !
So Preachers preach and Teachers teach:
For there are many that if they were to die shall receive eternal pain...
For they were never told the message to God RUN !
Because there is a Heaven to gain and a Hell to SHUN !
(You never know it could be your family, friends or loved ones, if only we had
shared)
by William Tell - (based on Luke 16:19-31)

Thank you – Zamreen Zarook
Thank you is a sweet word in the nature,
You may be a guy of adventure,
May be you are a person of agriculture,
What matters is your architecture.
Never forget the people, who guided you,
In no degree neglect who were with you,
Don’t ever overlook a creature, who gave a smile to you,
Because, you will meet them above you.
People forget the past due to selfishness,
They have no time to remember their unawareness,
Society, most of the times behave in awfulness,
They will understand when their lives come in to bitterness.
Be a person to thank and remember,
Don’t consider them as December,
Because, you might need them in November,
So, always be as a good subscriber.

Only light can penetrate the
darkness
that resides in the default state
of mind
I descend from beta to delta
through
binaural beats; instantly caught
between frequencies beyond
time
I absorb amplitudes of acoustic
energy
and I learn to just be earth
Since I am the earth
and because I am of
the one that is the source of its
existence,
I've owned the power of
omnificence
I realize now that I AM because
HE is since I am from that, a
descendant
Created in the image of a
thought
and a feeling from the
Universal Mind
I tune in to this vibration from
rhythmic
pulse that manipulates
subconscious minds
Immersed between 4 and 7
hertz;
brainwaves halt to a conscious
sleep
All chakras are aligned shining
crown energy
and now my consciousness
begins to reap!
and light begins to penetrate
the harmonious beams
that were already there
constant and always there
is now flooded with sound
patterns
that force brainwaves to submit
to power
of omnipresent sound that
always was
and always will be connected to
the Source from which I came
so I extend exponentially
beyond;
physical time and space
I long to embrace the intensity
of gamma rays
I give way to the coded sounds
that resonate from the inner
core
and continue to connect
through the binaural beats that
-
remind me of before
Always familiar but ignored
until found by gaining
knowledge of self
I listen with the intent to excel
while reaping an abundance of
benefits and rewards
Listen!!
It's already yours
Just reach out and grab it
as long as intention and ego is
checked
the universe will correspond
accordingly
it will deliver a life to you divine
and orderly
Just listen to the sounds that
were there from before
They will guide to to the
vibration from the core
and it will guide you to connect
directly with the source

Here lies the best Grandfather,
One who was very considerate.
Remembering him as a child,
I would sit on his lap.
He was a rare person indeed.
He was a colonel in the Army.
Also superlative of a gentelman.
Here lies the best grandfather,
May he rest in peace.

Leaving the last days of August
memories of the sea waves crashing
Tides that leave shells broken to find ~
picnic memories ~
fireworks night
Birthday cakes sparkle ~
sunburns under a sage kissed dessert Moonlight
The Summer reminds us of happier days
scents of coconut oil and lime
reminds us all of what is yet to come ~
The rain comes down hard
crying for all souls lost and left behind
The birds fly in perfect form
reminding all of the September storm
begging for history not to repeat ~
~ In war
no wins
only defeat ~
two beams of light straight to the Heavens
stay through the whole month of September
they remind us to listen silently we stand still
For the city lives and breaths left with loss
many questions unanswered remain ~
Leaving behind August
entering Septembers fears ~
I love this poem because it reflects on the past and the coming month in remembrance of history that took place September 11th 2001. In a way it is a oxymoron . from passionate summer nights to the fear embraced in the month coming :)

I just wanted to let you know
That I have this love for you...
Although I'm not fast to show
For you, there's nothing I wouldn't do
And I can't control this love
No matter what I try to do...
While I know our lives are separating
Which has got me pretty blue
I just want you to know
How much I love you...
Because I was blinded by shyness
And now my heart's feeling rugged
So this here's An Ode To My Beloved
Oh how I still see you every night in my mind
You're the best girl I feel I'll ever find
And when my eyes would fall upon your smile
My heart would be put on trial
And so if nothing else, I want to let you know
That I'll always love you, that my hearts beat
For you, won't ever slow...
Because I was blinded by shyness
And now my heart's feeling rugged
So this here's An Ode To My Beloved
So I wish you happiness beyond compare
And sorry for the times I couldn't help but stare
Caring, passionate, smart, and loving
From my heart, to you, I'll never be shoving
You will always be in my heart
No matter where we go, how far we drift apart...
Goodbye My Love...

Beloved, lovely roses: gift of God and lover’s flower,
Spread your colored petals and cradle tender showers.
While admiring the blossoms with their beauty to behold,
Ought we not to know the Tender of such lovely garden groves?
For He lovingly and thoughtfully wields His pruning shears
To cut away the stems of old for fuller future years.
He cultivates and feeds them. He attends them as a Father
Looking daily to their needs; so faithfully He waters.
From the dawn of morning dew until the setting sun arrays
Caring always for His own until that great appointed day…
When the Gardener comes to claim each one the earth held as its own.
He gently picks it at its peak and for His pleasure takes it home.
As God did one glorious morning, when the Perfect Rose had bloomed.
He rolled away the stone and met with Mary at the tomb.
There the sweetest Rose of Sharon rose that we die not alone.
But be gathered for a garden grove, surrounding heavens throne.

The hands of twilight amble through glazed clouds
Soothing my emptiness, a heart’s debris,
Although one longtime wish rattles aloud
Warm is the breeze that flutes in symphony.
Soothing my emptiness, a heart’s debris,
Ripples of time explore true north’s hourglass
Warm is the breeze that flutes in symphony;
As life seeks a reaping from time’s compass
Ripples of time explore true north’s hourglass
When in a gush, drizzles of kismet pour,
As life seeks a reaping from time’s compass
Oh, pennies from heaven open sky’s door!
When in a gush, drizzles of kismet pour
Drenching the thirst of love’s rebirth, joy flares;
Oh, pennies from heaven open sky’s door,
I taste once more a blooming warmth so rare.
Drenching the thirst of love’s rebirth, joy flares;
Although one crumpled wish rattles aloud;
I taste once more a blooming warmth so rare.
The hands of twilight, wander through glazed clouds

It's hard doing something different.
It's difficult staying yourself.
In a world so accustomed to conformity,
It feels nearly impossible to be unique
As the one He created you to be.
How do we find the strength?
How do we find the courage?
How do we find the bravery?
Where do we defeat fear?
Well, He's hanging on The Cross
Giving life to you and me.
Thank You Jesus!
Let us not forget
With Christ,
Nothing is impossible,
For with God,
All things are possible!
Thank You Father!
Thank You!
We give our lives to You!
We are Yours!
Praise You forever
And forevermore!
In Jesus' Name,
We pray,
Amen!

I live my life this way
Because I can
It's my life to live
One day I will stand in judgement
For my past and present sins.
I and I alone will carry my Demons
Until that day comes to pass
As for now
I am in control of my life

Redneck Angel
Lyrics By Robert Taylor
A thousand cases of beer
Hangin’ with Jack all night
Sleeping with women from a bar
Not knowin’ their names when I woke
Then I saw your eyes in the dark
Sitting alone in the bar
An Angel from heaven sent
Dressed in Daisy dukes
And red hot cowboy boots
You’re a backwards miracle
I walked over and talked to you
Just hoping that you were real
We talked and then we kissed
Spent our time together
Drinking, dancing and talking the night away
How could God have so blessed
A poor assed Redneck boy like me.
I saw you down at the swamp
Wearing plaid, with mud in your hair
You were a redneck angel from heaven
Dressed in Daisy Dukes
And red hot cowboy boots
You’re a backwards miracle
Then I gave my heart to you
At the Antioch Baptist Church
Vows given without fear
My love is yours forever
I looked at your eyes through your veil
And you were crying with happiness
You were a Redneck angel from heaven
Dressed in daisy dukes
Red hot cowboy boots
You’re a backwards miracle
How could God have so blessed
A poor assed redneck boy like me.
Hiding but always in plain sight
Drinking, fishing, mud bogging
Things a girl shouldn’t do
How could you be who you are
Sharing my love and my life
How could God have so blessed
A Redneck like me.
An angel from heaven sent
Dressed in Daisy Dukes
Red hot cowboy boots
You’re a backwoods miracle

There's something unspecific about the autumn nights
A certain shade of color that uplifts my inner child's eyes
Beside a cashmere moon Venus and Jupiter shine bright
Complimented by a sea of blinking infinite twilight
The scent of burning oak lingers in the air from home made fires
Reminiscent of a time when this man was just a child
Careless and so free to dream and any dream to live
Like feathers floating across a field carried by the wind
As a gentle breeze blows through the leaves shivering delightful gloom
Unlike flowers of springtime the disheveled autumn vibrance bloom
Leaves crackle beneath my feet along the skeleton tree path
Where I try to find my peace or a song to make me laugh
The air is so much crisper and also soothing when I breathe it in
Underneath a starry sky and brighter constellations of Heaven
Amidst the trail I pass a lovely couple holding hands
While their children run aside frolicking in a playful dance
An old man and his wife admire the view from a wooden bench
With smiles on their face as if nostalgia is still their closest friend
Its these specific autumn affects that bring me sorrows and joy
Reminding me of all theses things Ive wanted as a man since I was a little boy
Its times like these that I wish I wasn't always so alone
Because I would light an fire with my family and call it home

Wave a sea softened
and a pain and a tenderness
throw dreams in fascination
of the blue.
And let shave the waves of
Your eternity , oh, weigh
above me,
oh,weigh a coast of years.
Carry far in azure, spiral
ships,
with bulging little abdomens,
flutter with mahagony pinions
and already in vain expect you
to stop the scales harbours
with hot flames for You are
open.
Far away, far away ,far away,
stretched string,
heart and frank await the
hymn of June.
All sea sisters are dressed in
mother-of-pearl garment
embroidered of kiss of
eternity.
In the morning hunts them
fishermen and revive with
breath of their man’s hands.
In the evening girls wash
their black tunics,
in their blue hearts,
their feet white ,who cadge
heavy chains.
The night is squeezed enigma
and ugly,
predatory like a bat pecking
of scarlet fig.
Sea sisters, sea sisters,
remember His steps
which go through you noiselessly,
and ou swing like
bloody wine-
hold in His fingers Herod,
Pilate washes his hands,
in Yours heirs
and they bristled like winter
icicles bristles of innoncent blood .
There at Golgotha
hearing terrible cry,
blood gushes like
wounded river disappear
like Easter roses,
in weeds of flushed
preditory crowd,
to open way of
saving.
Who is He?
Do you heard
His name ?
He is Messiah,
God’s anoited
Jesus Christ.
Like little sheeps,
clouds of candy floss,
they welcome festivaly.
Barefooted are feet
of lovely swarthy steps
of the sun, came to bow,
before You , Creator.
The sea throws his
magnificent silver flesh,
blue like heavently lace,
to swallow all stars
only Bethlehem’s
stays inextinguishable,
pretty like uncreated
like an apple of not
born girl.

The Noose is tightening.
The 5’s and 10’s yanked from our hands and aching backs
Are spent on band-aids:
A last stand effort to plug the holes in our hearts
When the price of drowning is only getting higher
So we turn to tiny acts of thievery
Taxes prettied up, cashiers uncorrected,
Stealing at the edges because we’re backed into corners,
Corners
Glittering with promises corners
Dripping with possibility,
With Island resort wallpaper
Sold in bulk at Wal-Mart for
Profit: A trail of crumbs called America-
Which has curdled our souls and we love it!
And hate it and gossip about it and think obsessively about it and then
We find the most expensive friends our looks can afford,
Shopping for substance (50% off)
Staring through the eye of a screen
Light speed in pursuit of heaven on earth (Ignore the plastic)-
Until pop!
We die of ADHD.
Never having had the chance to smell the genetically modified roses.
Never having had the chance to see through this kingdom of ideas
As we served out our sentence to life in cubicle.

It's not a lesson to be taught
Or a skill to be acquired
It's the nudge to move forward
Open when the time is right
It's the spirit inside
God leading on the way
On the journey to discover
He is all you need
It's the courage to let go
Say yes instead of no
Reveal what you've been holding back
As Jesus takes the wheel
It's the realization that it doesn't matter
What others think of you
God leads you where you're meant to be
Just allow you to be you
It's the standing up to fear
Proclaiming "fear's not gonna win!"
The battle has been fought too long
Time to let the stalemate end
It's the inspiration you've been holding
For others and for yourself
The light we've been dimming
Rather than shining on His behalf
It's the spontaneity in the decision
To follow His call all the way
Discovering peace in being you
Wide open as the perfect creation you are
The world out there is brutal
But there's a Holy Man holding out His Hand
His bravery now is all we have
But His bravery of love is all we need
May God bless you!

Sometimes things are up,
And sometimes they are down,
Sometimes black is white,
And sometimes it is brown.
All the rivers flowing,
Back to the sacred sea,
All the monkeys climbing,
Up the very same tree.
You think you know a lot,
Think you know it all,
But the autumn leaves are falling,
At the north wind's lonely call.
The thinking of the meaning,
The reasons lost and gone,
At last the place is ready,
A vacant holy throne.
The emptiness that fill you,
Fills you from inside,
Is the treasure you are holding,
The bridegroom's holy bride.
And now the north wind's blowing,
Blowing down the Way,
And now we sit here waiting,
For the bridegroom's wedding day.

And the storm calls to me in ways you'll never understand
A gentle call that urges my soul forth
The lighting guiding a path for my feet to walk
Between the stones and ash of all that once was
I stand in the echoing silence of the rain
It drops down upon my skin like the blessing waters of heaven
Soothing me, lifting the weight from my body
I feel at once as if I am home
Standing amid two dimensions
Caught between two skies - here and there
The night wraping around me in warmth
The gentle wind lifting me off my feet
Drops from the clouded moon washing away my body
and I am left just a soul, an essence
The storm calls me forth from beneath my roof
Beckoning me into its depth
I stand among the reeds in the basin
They dance and sway as if welcoming me
And I sway with them back
Caught up in the power that charges the air
That threatens to sweep me away
If the ground will just loosen its hold
The thunder rumbles a low welcoming growl
And I get pleasently lost within it
I am so small compared to its vastness
I close my eyes and succumb to the skies wishes
Rising higher until my feet no longer touch the ground
My fingertips touch the liquid color of the stars
A sigh drifts from my lips
There is no need of thought to stay afloat
There is no demand to breathe in air
No crushing weight upon my chest
As my lungs struggle to survive
There are no struggles here
I make my bed on blackened clouds
And give in to the call
The storm has claimed me as its own
It was such a struggle to stay upon the ground
When the storm would call me home

Silence is the ultimate
In the praise's of the Lord
-------
It seeps' of servility
And tremble's
With authentic unbothered
Change
-------
But with Servility
Fore He hath given us
So much
For so long and so fully
--------
Well I commend thee
I give to Him all the praise's
And the dominion
Over man fore it is His privy
---- Never the Less ----
I shall give unto Him all of my
Abidance in being
Hail to all that which is His
In-order that I may be
Sanctimoniously entangled
And enthralled
Fore I am at His feet

Rev. (NOV2013)

I'm not the greatest of all-times, but when I'm done,
I'll be an all time great in this lifetime of mine
Like the late great who came before my time
I will breed a new lifeline, that will breathe life like march of dimes
My story lines, will bring truth life; like troops who fight
Overseas, for rights of those who believe that death is life
Now that ain't right!
As the rich is getting richer, eating fillet me-non, while we barely feeding our appetite
Night after night
Survival has waged a war that gave us no choice but to battle and fight
Although, we'll be all right
They say we a dying breed, but that ain't right
Instead we're the light to a lying greed
That will enlighten life to a brand new seed
A man of God indeed
Freed from the Son that bleeds
Like the summer breeze
He's the sum that equals the amount of air I breathe
The air that please
A satisfaction like the birds and the bees
My word's words are the keys
That will fornicate with the mind and give birth to a seed
A seed of social change, that'll change our social economy
So shall our comradery
That will bring comfort to a struggling society
A synonym...similar to a civilization seeking for unity
Unifying the physics of theory
That seeks to explain the synopsis of a dying philosophy
Similar to the Cosby
X-cept my scrip-tic will speak more about our reality
Like life's calamity
And everything else in life that's destroying us systematically
However, I've discovered a system
That can mathematically destroy ignorancy
And turn our state of mind intellectually
I elect that He (God) selects me to be
And be that man who may lead this community
So that they (My Peoples) may commute with me
En-route to a destination, destine towards our destiny
Like we were destine to be
We were meant to be "Great" like the late great that came before we.
Because we are...
The reflection where perfection gave birth to the definition of greatness
Where great means Competent, Skilled, Well Informed, and Tremendous
Our potentials are endless
And only we not even the enemy can put an end to this
So it's time we put a stop to this
The biggest enemy of self
And that's envy and jelousness
Cause after this is Heaven or Hell and that's all there is
A promised made sealed with a kiss
Knowing this
Is the next best thing since "In the beginning"
In the first chapter of the first verse in Genesis!

Man's Corruption... God's Redemption!
The Bible speaks of man's sin and corruption.
That's why God has offered us, his redemption!
The heart is desperately wicked above all things.
There's an evil corruption that sin brings!
The Lord searches our heart and tests our ways.
He watches our lives, all of our days!
There's nothing good in ourselves.
Not now, or ever!
Without God's mercy...
We're doomed forever!
But, through Christ, there's a way and a plan!
He made this available to every woman and man!
His gift of salvation is a message of love, made clear!
The coming of Jesus Christ,
draws ever so near!
We can trade our sinful corruption,
for a new way of living!
Won't you come before the Lord,
with a heart of giving?
Giving our life to Jesus,
is the best thing to do!
By his power and grace, you can be
made BRAND NEW!
I'm thankful for his salvation!
Mercy has been applied!
Because of Christ' death on the cross…
I'm now sanctified!
By Jim Pemberton

Latin mission = sending
Mission is the sending of the Church
Father Christ mandate to all Christians
Proclaim the Gospel in word and deed
So that all men can freely make a decision for Father Christ
But be careful to choose the faith
The effect can be too late or not
Choose wisely which faith is the bridge to heaven

You are~
The queen of hive~keeping a universe of sweetness alive.
The richness of air~ more richness than a gem or bank can bare.
The float of a boat~the ink of a love note.
The warmth of a coat~the warmth of prevailing hope.
With a billion brilliantly buffed stars you shine~a shine in the night of my mind.
You are the eloquence of glistening and glamorous Fiji waters~beauteous waves of mind.
A Unhurried dulcet substance steaming ahead~honey flowing through your veins.
I can visualize your golden veins,coiling on the
bars of heavens divine gates ~ your soul the key to heaven.
I'm sure a blind man can see you, I'm sure women would love to be you~ I'm sure though I haven't seen you.
Perhaps I seen you in
the rose I smelled yesterday
the sun of today
the mystical formation of
comely clouds.
perhaps I seen you girdled in
trees of fortitude,may be you
are the the fortifier of it all,the
beautifier of all roses standing tall.
You are the first steps of a baby
that once use to crawl,supportive
to all.You are the benign tender of
a baby's BIRTH~
So go ahead ask me what your WORTH,
and yes baby people like you is the
restoration of EARTH.
So go ahead ask me what your WORTH,
And i'll say YOUR WORTH MORE THAN EARTH!!!
Your birth chained heaven to earth~
A visible but invisible cord the doctors couldn't Cut,
BUT guess what these words came from the heaven in my GUT!!!

Our love grows stronger,
Even beyond the distance,
Even beyond the days.
I know you're with me always
And I'm always with you;
In God together we're together forever
And physically we'll be together forever soon.

I've watched the war from behind closed doors;
Eyes too glued to close.
And now knowing what's in store, there's porn no more.
God's love is the only hope we know.
We are forgiven because of the love that is Jesus.
We are saved because of the love that is Jesus.
We give our lives to the Father for we are His children and He loves us.
We are loved!
No matter what we've done, we are loved!
Confess and ask for forgiveness;
This is such a beautiful gift!
Thank You God!
Thank You Jesus!
You forgive me!
You save me!
You change me!
I am changed!
I am new!
I am renewed!
I am forgiven!
I am saved!
I am changed!
There's porn no more
For God's hope is in store!
There's porn no more
For God's love is the hope of the world!

I wake on the sand
Right near the beach
You have yet to awake
Far out of reach
And Daybreak has arrived
A beauty unlike any other
Comparable only to us, girl
And how we love each other
So I gaze up alone
Marveling up at the sky
The warmth of the sun
Drying my eyes
I'm reflecting on us
Oh how each other we trust
I'm just so happy we're together
And I think to myself,
Just as this sun, we'll last forever
Then returning to be with you
I lay again now
Place my hand gently
On your warm tender shoulder
While I think of our lives today, love
And how they'll be when we're older...
I know there'd be no other way
So "I Love You" I make sure I say
To you, each and everyday

I'm worried where the next dollar will come from.
Will she ever arrive?
Will she ever show up?
But why am I worrying?
Stop it!
It's all in God's Great Hands!
It's all under God's control!
It's all within His plans!
It's all His
And He will provide
Because He is our Father!
He loves us!
It's all His!
Trust Him!
I know it's difficult;
He will not lead you wrong.
He knows where you need to go.
He knows what you need to endure.
It's all His plan.
It's all in His Hands!
Lay down your life;
Give the control.
He is in control!
Thank You Father!
Trust Him!
It will all be okay!
Trust Him!
Thank You God!
Thank You Jesus!
Thank You Holy Spirit!
I love You always!
I trust You always!
I trust You!
I trust You!
Yes, yes I do!
I trust You!
I love You!
Amen!

Will We Know Him?
Will we know Him if He stood in front of us?
If He walked by us on the street?
Will we know Him?
If we have a chance to meet Him in our lifetime?
In that split second that we meet Him?
Our eyes met for the first time?
Will we know Him?
Yes reading the moment we stood side by side?
Our smiles are very clear
Our heart jumps around
Yes we do know Him?
That look, and that feeling
When we know we've found our home
Yes we do know Him
Yes we know what to say to Him
As we walk away together
Yes we know Him as He knows us His children
We are finally together

I am malleable in God’s hands,
No one can shape me like He can,
He never gives me anything that I can’t handle,
He always knows what He is doing,
No one can compare to Him,
He is the father I never had,
I can truly trust, love, and honor Him,
Because He made me,
He loves me,
And I love Him,
I will never be able to put my heart into someone else’s hands with such trust!
Because He is love!
And I am His.
- Inspired by Jeremiah 18:6
Jeremiah 18:6 NIV
“O house of Israel, can I not do with you as the potter does? declares the Lord.
“Like clay in the hands of potter, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel.

One sunny afternoon
I looked out of my window
It was a sunny afternoon
Behind me on the radio
The softness of a jazz tune
Played so sweetly in my ears
A lovely serenade
And then this sight did catch my gaze
And everything did fade
For there, before my spell bound eyes
I saw this wondrous scene
A mauve hibiscus lighted up
So lovely and serene
Did sparkle like a million gems
Among the mauves and greens
Oh what glory, oh what joy
I felt within this scene.
Oh life is sweet, and life is grand
When seen with heart, and eye
So when this image came to me
My eyes began to cry
As all my wonder asked of me
Where does it all come from?
So much beauty in this world
It just goes on and on.
23 July 2013 @ 1452hrs.

You've fallen down again;
How can you let darkness win?
You just scraped your knee,
You didn't break your leg.
It will all be okay;
I will give you strength.
Brush it off, my child;
Come and take my hand.
Let me help you up again;
You will be okay.
I have always been with you,
And I always will be.
I am by your side,
But this time,
Will you allow me to take the lead?

Forget! Regret not, for it all has intention...
To attempt comprehension leads to double block wall.
In searching your question, much more loss is gotten,
Confusion, dismay a deeper dug hole.
Infinitely seeking you strive for some meaning,
the truth is quite simple you are not sole at all!
Infusion connection the union eternal,
Is easy to grasp when knowledge of whole,
is truly encountered from deep within query
The meaning the truth the love of it all...
Once trouble & strife and struggle are missing,
The clear light of being shows beauty once more.
Accept what is given agree to the treaty.
Fight not with your fears, and answer your call.
Find substance in living, step over delusions.
Regardless of meaning, life’s radiance will soar.
So use this awareness these words and this practice,
Come forth tall and sturdy, head high and recall..
When sad and when empty in need of intention,
No doubts I plead! No need to explore!
Emotions you hold are sensed by your siblings,
Your waves of sensation your truth and your soul...
Are parts of us all, we are all together we are all but one!
In oneness we’re whole!

All around me
Great cities made of sand.
Green sky scrapers poke through the ground
To thrive in life’s strict conditions
And melt away with the tide…
Great houses made of cards
Form lines, and tightrope walk existence,
Knowing that any moment, the wrong brick may fall
And buckle our world to its knees
As Mother Earth shouts Jenga! from the sidelines.
So while were here
We dance with the Glass Goddess
Poised miles above reality,
Leaping over the heavens on our domino stilts-
We floor it in the sky
Living death in the fast lane,
Seizing the day
Because any moment
We could disappear
Into

Jesus’ death paid it all!
What have you given in return?
His death on the cross…
Was from his love and concern!
His life for yours… On Calvary…
Has been paid.
His offer of eternal life,
has been made!
Through God’s word,
he’s been talking!
And stands at your hearts door…
patiently knocking!
Won’t you invite him in? As your guest?
Then, your life will be totally blessed!
He can bring health and
healing to your bones!
He can bring his love to
your family and home!
“Come unto me.” Is the
the master’s call.
Won’t you come to him now?
One and all?
He’s here right now!
In this very place…
And extends to you his
mercy and grace.
Won’t you accept him today?
He loves you more than words can say!

My Sins – Zamreen Zarook
Oh God you are so gracious,
Am a guy who have done since in capacious,
At times I have being as a carnivorous,
But it charged ages to identify as dangerous.
Since are being committed behind the screen,
Even it started at my thirteen,
Mirrors used to say that I am evergreen,
Whereas my since were always unseen.
In enormous number I have executed,
But for every count, high privacy was aborted,
Simply because of your blessings we are bracketed,
If not, we are already being quoted.
Oh God, I understood your kindness,
Here after I won’t commit since in others absence,
However much chances I get to access,
I will always have heaven as my address.

I am a Muslim, I’m not a “terrorist”.
How can I be a terrorist
when I’m against all kinds of injustice.
I’m against every act of sin and evil.
I hate all kinds of crime and even loathe
what Adolf did to the innocent Jewish people.
I hate what God hates; He (Allah) hates oppression.
I’m against stealing, against taking away
people’s loved ones and belongings for no reason.
I’m against suicide bombings,
against racism, against ignorance,
against self-harm and even derision.
What God hates I hate and God (Allah) hates
oppression. I hate it too when people fight
for foolish nationalistic reasons.
I’m a Muslim; I follow the true religion
of mercy from Allah the Most Merciful
Who simply wants us to answer His Call
to believe in Just One -Just One God of all.
So don’t call me a “terrorist” when I clearly
don’t have a ‘mass destruction’ weapon
and my goal in life is to
be with our God (Allah) in Heaven.

OUR HOPE IN CHRIST
As we journey on this earth
Let us not forget the Birth
Of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ
Who not only came once, but is coming twice
He came from glory, born as a babe
Of lowly birth, in a manger laid
His life was perfect and of sin He was free
He gave His life for you and me
This Man called Christ died on the cross
Which seemed to many to be a loss
But on the third day, He arose
In mighty triumph o'er His foes
He ascended into Heaven on God's right hand
And will sit in judgment of sinful man
But to we who trust Him, He will say
Well done faithful servant on that day
So in your journey, don't despair
For one day you'll meet Him in the air
On this earth, never more to roam
And make Heaven your eternal home
Curtis Moorman
16 August 2012
Are you ready?

Come go with me to eternity,
To find our own Dreamland
Together we’ll walk, hand in hand
And live our fantasy.
Those we love will all be there
Of this you can be sure.
Our life will always be secure
And free from all despair.
The blessings that were ours’ here
Will also greet us there
And life continued as a pair
Will not know one single tear
There you’ll see through eyes of God
What your love means to me
For love that’s always meant to be --
The angels will applaud
I do believe there’s such a place --
It will not seem so odd
To stand before Almighty God
And touch His loving face.

A question, a sentence all made since,
My apologies indeed,1 to the 2,3….
Can you make time a map,
A man a watch, watching it as a clock slide by,
Dear fox.
Go seek out a dinner for me perhaps a dinner for three,
Cause what I could see was a family for me.
Is there no good or bad or have you seen no evil to know what it is sad,
Settling for less if not the reason why this pen flows,
At five o’clock in the morning just after I take a ride down to the coast,
I began to catch a feast is it time for lunch with a breeze? ,
Please just read. But I took the road not taken,
And like Robert Frost it was a demon I seen; in me.
A lyrical poem with many different poets all in one,
a rust diamond if this still is not gem, site the beach, for more discrete.
I remember a famous rapper say don’t read too deep into my rhyms,
I said to myself I know the feeling too well to be speechless to dine in and be sleepless,
This is not the white house but the light is on in this house, all the time.
This is the saddest thing to try to reason as I am floating in and out of consciousness ,
In a lumpy bed watching the clock, skip a beat at five o’clock in the morning,
What a treat,
And surgery of all things staying awake listening to everescence,
Thinking to myself how this would sound better if it was duet with some R&B.
I went across the street seen the Raven but still believe in heaven,
And as I was waiting patiently a Rose grow from concrete,
How long would it grow until the end of the road I think still, and blink.
If you knew would you still search if you knew?
Could you paint a picture of the life after death only if you knew.
Can you get the greeting, and I mean all is well tell this to the Senate,
This meaning is too far-fetched to reason.
Like my favorite Poet John Milton my favorite poet without any QUSTION,
That a book tells two side to a tale, why not witness? By just listening,
Question! ! ! The life of a SENTENCE! ! !
It still makes sense somehow more or less than other.
I blinked again knowing the content of his meaning,
And arose from sleep just as a whisper in the night,
And repeated repented as needed the questions,
Indeed to answer all too well,
Being five o’clock in the morning it was a question,
A sentence it all makes sense,
One to the two, three……
I sleep with a pen but I sleep with sword! ! ! ! ...

Every second we're away,
We grow stronger everyday
Until that day will finally come
When we know it's okay
And we will rest in each other's arms
In peace from God above,
No longer missing one another
Because we're together;
Built forever in each other's love.

After a business tour
I returned to empty home
Wife and kids had been away
enjoying holiday at her mothers home
Everything was same
TV, Fridge, Oven, Music System
accepting my operating command as before
bed, sofa, reclining chair all comforting my body
Missing was the vivacious vibrancy
of laughter, arguments, silence, love and affection
Walls, curtains, photo frames, flower vases staring at me
Tongue and ears jobless, eyes doubling up for speech and sound
No one to offer glass of water or cup of tea
Breakfast awaiting preparation by me, and eaten too
Lunch and Dinner from menu delivered by hotel waiter
Nightime no one to kiss goodbye, bother for next day wishes
Learned, not that uninhabited homes only haunt
Clamour of near and dear ones is what actually counts
Amidst noise decibels we try to squeeze out some solitude
Like fools among living souls we often seek silence of graveyard
Telephone bell rings
wife and kids indicate early arrival
Suddenly the empty home turns into lively fair
staring walls joyous on early prospect of baby hands caress
Emptiness camouflaging along with feelings
Haunting brick and mortar springing into lively atmosphere
Hated apartment while alone, fool was I to blame innocent structure
Learnt, futile to be in heaven after leaving, create heaven where one is living
(Entry for Members Contest – Empty Apartment by Matt Caliri )

We all have a story to tell.
Ups and downs,
Together, we've been through it all;
God has led us through it all.
Trust Him;
It's all for a reason.
All your pains,
All your struggles,
All your hurts-
They're all for a reason.
God has a bigger plan,
One we cannot see.
Trust Him and pray.
Remember,
We are all in this together.
Together, we have been through it all.
Ups and downs,
We are family-
Brothers and sisters in Christ.
We are friends.
Most importantly,
We are family.
Let's love one another like God loves us.
Let's help each other out
And help each other up with loving hands.
We are His children.
We are His servants
Together on His mission
To love, save, and change the world
For the better.
We are all in this together.
Listen to His praises ring;
Let's praise Him together.
Listen to sister Fantasia sing,
"Sometimes you gotta lose to win again."
Thank You Father!
Amen!

When I came to you I was broken and frail~Half my mind gone in despair
Feeling so Low~Like mud on the ground~Wondering if my Joy would ever
be found~Fighting and resisting at the very Start~then slowly you entered my heart
Quietly and gently working insid my soul knowing just what you were doing to help me glow
You broke into my soul where I had been suffering the most you cleansed me
and entered me showing me what I needed to see, working endlessley on my soul
you cleansed me and made me once again whole. God almighty you never cease to
amaze me always by my side even when I'm at my worst, loving me endleslly and uncondionally..
You have opened my heart to the beauty again, the beauty of the clouds the beauty of your creations'
The beauty of the rain, the beauty of the thunder, the beauty most of all of your people.
Opened and vunerable I am to you always. Enter me and have me do your will in my life
help me to always follow you in every aspect of my mind, body, and soul with every ounce of me
Silently by my side help guide me in my ways so I do your ways and your will dear god almighty
Walking together down this journey in life nothing can go wrong with you by my side
Hold me and love me in this I pray guide me down the right roads along my way
I want you by my side for the rest of my life, no more going alone on this journey
I need you Lord God ALmighty to guide me ,Love me. and Hold me through my good and bad times..!

I picked up a penny face-down,
But I don't believe in luck.
Everything happens for a reason;
God's mercy frees the stuck.
Redeem me, Heavenly Father;
Please, I know the wrong I've done.
Thank You for dying for me;
My sins You have overcome!

Stand up and shake;
Feel the rhythm in your heart.
Ignite those pants;
We get up and dance.
God on our mind,
Eternity in our souls;
Feel the chills of those bones.
It's the hope.
Open those closed doors:
Into Heaven we go,
Welcomed and forgiven.
Here is the love;
Let's dance!

My Church Forgot Me… But Jesus Found Me!
My first visit to church… I pulled up in my car.
I noticed a sign; “we welcome you as you are!”
I thought; “how do I come, if I’m not who I am?”
I walked to the front door, and shook the usher’s hand.
I was later introduced as a visitation guest.
The church seemed to rather “happy and blessed.”
As many of the people prayed and sang some songs.
I went each Sunday and seemed to get along.
Something happened and I couldn’t make it on Sunday.
Nor could I make to the classes each Wednesday.
No one ever called to ask if I was doing o.k.
I even left a message and asked
the church to pray.
As the weeks went by, it seemed like I was forgotten.
My whole life came “crashing down,”
and hit bottom.
It was in these moments, I cried out in pain.
Wondering if anyone in heaven knew my name.
A close relationship with Christ began to grow.
God reached down from heaven knew my name.
A close relationship with Christ began to grow.
He reached down from heaven and healed my soul!
A relationship with Christ is the most important thing.
God is bigger than any church
and cam do anything!
If a church has forgotten you,
let me give you a reminder.
Christ is all you’ll need! He’s your provider!
He can do what no church could ever do!
He’ll always be your friend,
and will never leave you!
By Jim Pemberton

Are You Ready to Meet Jesus?
One day soon, there’ll be
A meeting In the air!
God’s people will gather,
from everywhere!
Jesus will return,,
for you and me!
He wants to take us all!
For eternity!
People will be there!
Both young and old!
Being with Jesus forever!
On streets paved with gold!
When he comes,
no one knows!
When he does, may we
be ready to go!
Live you life, as if
He came right now!
One day, before him,
Every knee shall bow!
May we live a Godly life,
in everything!
As we look forward to,
the return of the king!
By Jim Pemberton

A feeling that I knew too well;
With every word you spoke I fell-
Falling deeper into the bliss;
Longing for your every kiss.
Without you here my heart grows fonder;
Around the park I start to wander-
And think about how you make me feel-
The longing starting to become surreal.
Giving meaning to my life,
You lift me up from pain and strife.
I thought it was a feeling that I knew-
But with your guidance the passion grew.
Spiraling up with every touch-
Never wanting to leave your clutch.
Waiting for your familiar glance-
Missing you with every chance.

What is it to me
that I cannot place you
in the picture painted by the years
the life has already spent?
Do you merely lurk,
and leave at a much later time?
Or,
maybe
you are staying
because
you
are
meant
to
stay.
Then,
stay.
If you may.
I pray.
While I find a place (for us)
in the picture of eternities,
the gods must be
hiding,
conspiring;
themselves amusing.
Ah, the grand scheme of things -
a forgetting.
A familiar spirit we feel -
a remembering.
(Note) This piece was inspiredly written for the beautiful souls - even the
strangers - I have met along the way and will still come upon in my lifetime. To
each special one, you have stirred quite a familiar spirit within. A remembrance
of forgotten past, I suppose. Thank you for letting me peak through your
soul's window. The veil of forgetfulness has never been thin as now to me. You
have so given me a gift I shall treasure in the moments I may tend to forget
who I truly am - a being with a soul.

(The Beginning)
Many, many years ago – when I was only ten,
Times were so much happier - life was simpler then,
No problems met with me each day
My role in life was to run and play.
And destiny was just a word
I never used and seldom heard.
My youthful days were never spent
In worry over food or rent.
But fate will always have its say
In all things meant to come our way.
And something lacking in my life
Was often causing major strife.
Loneliness would follow me
Though kids galore were there to be
Playmates during times of need
When something caused my soul to bleed
Then fate employed parental love
And called on heaven up above
To let something play the part
And still the aching in my heart
Well, heaven knew how kids are made
And knew what caused my joy to fade.
So, early on one winter morn
A little spotted pup was born.
He’s grown into a faithful friend
And many joyful hours we spend
Just knowing that the love we share
Whenever needed will be there.
Dogs are of a special breed
And always fill some special need.
I'll cherish always that special day -
The day that Buster came to stay
John Posey 12/04/12

Am I the only one who's feeling there is something very wrong with all of this ,
I can't seem to get anybody to listen not even when I raise my fist.
How can they not see what I see ,has everybody lost thier mind I say,
Why can't they see what it is that is making them act this way.
Have you taken a look around to see there's something that has changed,
When you look into peoples eyes Lord how you can see the rage.
No compassion for thier fellow man as if they have never ever cared,
For the future of mankind and how we all should be aware.
Saw a friend of mine the other day he was acting a little strange ,
I can't help but wonder just when , how , and who's the blame.
This power and greed is consuming us all we just can't seem to stop
Stepping on our brothers & sisters as we race to the top.
Where's the love ,the kindness ,the hope and faith we use to live by,
How we allowed ourselves to sink so low I' will never know why.
Still I will contunue to spread the word which has always been,
Be good and love one another as you are learning not to sin.
Please don't be another wreck that has been pushed to the side ,
If you' listen to the one and only word you will know why.
We will all band together so we can stand tall and free,
It is one simple word and that is love how could you nor see.

I want to sing you
I want to write you
I want to watch you
And describe you
I would like to compose you
You, my ninth symphony
To put you on a stave
To play your melody
I want to sculpt you
Without engraving too much
Hardly anything to change
Some details to fix
I want to photograph you
Under different lights
To whip with the flash
All those artifices that are hiding you
I want to break your records
Go through your body's limits
Jump higher, run further
When man an athlete is one
I could go on with other arts
But none of them seem good enough to define you
So I'll go on in which my words are the finest
For you, I'll never stop writing

Where am I? Why is it dark?
This isn’t what I had in mind when I left the park…
Why isn’t the wind whispering…the songbirds singing?
All I remember is a telephone ringing…
A scream and a crash and a pain in my side…
Is this what happens after one’s died?
I don’t feel like myself, I feel wild and free,
Yet I’m cold and alone, 'stead of filled with glee.
My whole life I’ve studied, and pondered, and prayed,
Trying to fathom what would happen this day
But now that it’s here, I’m beginning to fear
Maybe the afterlife’s not what it appears…
It’s certainly not what I’ve been told by my preacher
Or my parents or brother or best friend or teacher…
Is it a bad thing, or is it good?
Maybe it’s just not quite understood...
While I was on Earth, I just couldn’t wait
To meet good St. Peter at the heavenly gate
And ask him a question or query or two
“What was my purpose?” “What good did I do?”
“What’s it all for?” “How does it all flow?”
“Can I have one more body, one more try, one more go?”
But where is the angel? Where is the gate? And
If this is Hell, then where is Ol’ Satan?
Am I a lost soul? Am I forgotten?
Am I to be left here until I am rotten?
Lo and behold! what, now, can this be?
Is this a wonderful spiritual epiphany?
Is this the magical feeling all souls receive
When they leave Earth? Oh! was I that naïve?
How could I have not seen the realism?
Why was I consumed in man-made idealism?
This is more wondrous than all I was taught
Oh, all the times I argued and fought
With others, ‘bout how their views were asinine
Now I see, theirs were just as wrong as mine!
Little I thought was actually correct!
How, why, did I let others petty beliefs infect
My untouched, my pure, my virgin mind?
I regret all the hours I self-tortured to find
That compared to what I see now, I was empty and blind…
Wait - - What is this that I see?
What is this gateway that is revealed unto me?
Now a door is opened to my immortal soul
I am expected now to enter my life’s final goal…
I am scared, intimidated, but still I am glad…
For the truth I have just seen is anything but bad.
This is the end of my journey, I’ve nothing to fear,
For now I am going Beyond the Frontier.

mama how do i tell you its bad again
how the voices are telling me its okay to hurt
they want me to fall
to fall from the top of buildings
and not get up
but don't worry mama
i plan to shut them up
mama how do i explain how the pain has returned
all you wanted was me to be better
i tried and tried and tried and tried
but in the end, the crazy won
they drive me crazy to no end
i want to make it stop
but don't worry mama
i have a plan
mama i cant tell you how it feels
to be sunken to the depths of earth
angels are soaring above me
but their happy gazes hurt
i need this incessant chatter to go
to hurt me, to hate me
it all feels so real
but don't worry mama
it wont soon
mama i can see the look in your eyes
it hurts me too that this is goodbye
cant you see this is the only way
for the voices to vanish but my body stay
goodbye and farewell
ill miss you so much
but don't cry mama
ill be better now

I bet heaven is so beautiful,
It has to be glorious and bright.
Imagine, angels singing lovely songs
They sing to Jesus who sitting on His throne.
No light switches or lamps needed there,
For Jesus is the light all over up there,
No way can one of us imagine how wonderful
that could possibly be the light shinning bright.
Shoot down here on earth should be gloomy or sad?
With all the pain, heartaches and death we endure.
Should we act as though this is all we have?
No way go ahead live life to it's fullest before it's to late.
Life is to short and goes by way to quick to fight over
small things on this big old earth, take a breath and
remember life is what we make it and before we get to go
to Heaven live it a minute is a moment but eternity is forever.

I did it again; I need forgiven.
Will He still forgive me even though I've fallen before?
I've fallen into these same sins countless times before;
I still haven't learned my lesson.
I am an ignorant hypocrite.
Am I still forgiven?

I ask all to be open minded as I tell the story of my friend, William .
There are so many prejudice in this World , from color to sex
To me it has always been the soul , the person inside
For one that is shallow will not experience life in true blessing
William my friend was African American , he was fun and personality full of 'I am here "
William was Gay , William disowned , William called "A queer "
Well this is a lesson for all to know
God does not care what color , but the heart , what color it shows .
I had left my 1st Husband , with 2 children I had to support .
I was depressed , felt alone in the civilian World of a sort
For when I got to Monterey bay , I was on a Military base
Very shy and recluse , not leaving the perimeter of the land
I opened such a big door when I left that abusive Man
I had the tiniest apartment with 2 little rooms , probably 550 sq. feet I presume .
I will never for get the night He came to my door , William ," Girl, lets go dancing
Let's go explore ! He called me 'The platinum Blonde "
We went out together and danced , he was amazing ! William energized any room . He Lit it Up !
For he had something inside his beautiful soul , no money could buy, nor silver or gold.
Well years went by in Monterey bay , I had fallen in love with a man , Lost so much time .
Time went by , after the man broke my heart ,I remember "where is William "
I missed something that lies deep in my heart . The true Love and friendship of he I craved .
Now this story is long so go to "William part 2 "be patient , be brave .

Faith is not failing me,
I am failing Him.
Why do I refuse to accept His grace?
Why would I rather live my life on my own
When He is extending a helping a hand?
I am depressed,
Dead on my own,
But I am alive in Him!
I give my life to Him for real;
I give Him my all,
And now I'm alive
Because He gives me life!

UNSUPPORTED CODE What Will I Do? Where Will I Go?
What will I do? Where will I go?
Which direction I’ll take… I don’t really know!
In just a moment, I lost all, that I worked hard to get…
I’m thinking of “letting go.”
But haven’t done it yet…
The things I held so close... Have all disappeared.
It happened so fast. It’s kind of “weird.”
Those I call my friends, don’t really know
what to say.
Most of them shake their heads, and walk away!
I’ve cried myself to sleep many days and nights.
It’s like someone has “turned off the lights.”
The only one I know, that I can turn to, is Christ alone!
I need him to heal my broken heart and home.
Dear Jesus, will you take some time to help me out?
I know that helping people is what you’re about!
Please help me to pick up the
pieces that are scattered!
Help me to focus on the things in life
that really matter!
I need to give you, all of my focus and attention!
I need your word to show me
some clear direction!
You’re the one that I always need to hold on to!
I need to do this, and to completely trust you!
Thank you Jesus for listening
and answering my prayer!
I’m thankful that you’re someone who really cares!
Thank you for restoring my life,
that has been “up-ended.”
With your love, my heart has been
healed and mended!
By Jim Pemberton

Listen to the buzzing, in your ears,
Listen to the humming, of your fears,
Listen to the baby, crying inside,
Listen to the pleading, in your lover's eyes.
Listen to the music, you have never played,
Listen to the sinner, who's never been saved.
Listen to the empty, silence of your mind,
Listen to the whispers, of man kind.
Listen to the never, heard nor seen,
Listen to the listener, who has never been.
Listen to the monkey, you know you really are,
Listen to the wise man, who's never been that far.
Listen to the dying, crying man,
Listen to the bottle, buried in the sand.
Listen to meaning, you never really meant,
Listen to the letter, you never really sent.
Listen to the lovers, who loved another one,
Listen to the brothers, torturing their mum.
Listen to the noisy, who never say a thing,
Listen to the silent, crying deep within.
Listen to the never, ever really said,
Listen to the dead man, laying in his bed.
Listen to the flying, dying man,
Listen to the solid, only made of sand,
Listen to the night time, they told you that was day,
Listen to the meaning, they stole an took away.
Listen to the singer, who never made a sound,
Listen to the thunder, in the lightning cloud.
Listen to the voices, you never hear within,
Listen to the last train's whistle, whistling.

These people make me sick
These false prophets
These religious money pits
These well dressed demons of deception
Nothing but
Con artists
Liars
Purveyors of pure sacrilege
Pretending to offer you salvation
Offering you the comfort of the lord
For a price
Selling you a seat in heaven
The more you pay the better your accommodations
Religious travel agents
Without their blessing
You’re doomed to be left behind
You wont get into heaven
Without your donation
I myself believe in religion
Support all religions
They may be different in their views and customs
But the end goal is all the same
Eternal peace
But these people are different
They to,
Want peace…
Your piece
My piece
And anyone else’s piece they can get
Their goal is simple
Fleece the flock
Sell them promise
Sell them an eternal ticket
Guarantee them eternal bliss
For a price
Sell them anointed hankies
And blessed books
Promise them wonderful lives
With their religious looks
They are the one-armed bandits of the new age
With a bible in one hand and a credit card machine in the other
We take Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover
But no checks please
We need your “prayer” right now
Not in 7-10 days
These people make me sick
There are so many of them
Saying they represent God
Flashing 800 numbers
Requesting your “prayers”
Which will only be “answered”
As long as credit card is valid
Are people that dumb?
I mean really that naïve?
Do they really believe?
The cheap suits
Silk ties
And piss poor acting of sincerity and caring
Do they not see the obvious?
Are they truly blind?
Do they want to be spiritually slaughtered?
Do they not remember the one very important rule?
You never have to pay to pray!
All God has ever asked of anyone is their faith
Time, is your most valuable asset
It is what you have the least of in life
And this is what you pay to God
Your time devoted to him and your faith in him
Wake up, before it’s to late
You don’t have much time left
Spend it wisely
Spend it on God
Eric (and sometimes not)

heaven lies in innocent and peace heart.

life will float in air.

A Second Chance
For so many years I had my wife
Now it’s sadness that fills my life
I miss that time we would caress
I miss the touch of tenderness
I talk to my wife every day
Love is one of the words I say
I loved to smell my wife’s hair
I wish I had a lock of it here
Your gone and out of sight
To heaven you will be my shining light
At the end of my life
I will again be with my wife
In heaven again my wife and me
A second chance it will be

Forgiveness of Sins / God's Love & Mercy
LK 15:11-32
Then he said, "A man had two sons, and the younger son said to his father, 'Father, give me the share of your estate that should come to me.'
So the father divided the property between them. After a few days, the younger son collected all his belongings and set off to a distant country where he squandered his inheritance on a life of dissipation.
When he had freely spent everything, a severe famine struck that country, and he found himself in dire need.
Coming to his senses he thought, 'How many of my father's hired workers have more than enough food to eat, but here am I, dying from hunger.
I shall get up and go to my father and I shall say to him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.
I no longer deserve to be called your son; treat me as you would treat one of your hired workers."'
So he got up and went back to his father.
While he was still a long way off, his father caught sight of him, and was filled with compassion.
He ran to his son, embraced him and kissed him; His son said to him,
'Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you; I no longer deserve to be called your son.
But his father ordered his servants, 'Quickly bring the finest robe and put it on him; put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet...
Then let us celebrate with a feast, because this son of mine was dead, and has come to life again; he was lost, and has been found.' Then the celebration began.
Now the older son had been out in the field and, on his way back, as he neared the house, he heard the sound of music and dancing. He became angry, and when he refused to enter the house, his father came out and pleaded with him.
He said to him, 'My son, you are here with me always; everything I have is yours; but now we must celebrate and rejoice, because your brother was dead and has come to life again; he was lost and has been found.'" (Taken from LK 15:11-14, 17-25, 28, 31-32)

Singing around in love;
Smiles built from the ground.
Holding hands in the dance;
Laughing with brothers and sisters,
All in His Glorious Name.
Throughout His perfectly sculpted land:
Look around because this is it;
Look around because this is love;
Look around and know, understand, comprehend,
Rejoice because you are perfect;
You are God's beautiful children!

A girl whom he'd forgotten
At his door, showed up the other day
The one he'd always wanted
Just knew not what to say
The boy she longed to hold
She caught his eyes once again
Of her love, to him, she never told
But this time, all her love, she will send
Once in a lifetime, and not one time more
Fate takes hold, luck is lent
From out of the blue, a miracle occurs
Hearts reunite, Together Again
She greets him with a smile
A sparkle in her eyes
For his love, she'd run for miles
To try this thing called love, just one time
Gazing at her beauty, he feels her in heart
Remembering those nights, with her, in his dreams
And how he felt at this whole love's start
Where they'd be one forever, to him, oh how it seemed
Well this girl's name was Katie, and his Steve
And oh how tears were shed, by them both, when they were forced to leave
But in the past that was, so now he holds her hand
Two angels together, forever they'll stand
Once in a lifetime, and not one time more
Fate takes hold, luck is lent
From out of the blue, a miracle occurs
Hearts reunite, Together Again
An old couple now, a lifetime of love
They've conquered all, risen together, above
Together, all the years, oh how they've spent
And to each other, all their love they have sent
Feeling each others hearts beating every morning
Through all the decades, all the happy years
Steve's heart though, one of these days, stopped without warning
And Katie's wrinkled face, moistened with tears
How could Katie live now, without her beloved by her side
Knowing that beside her, his heart slowly died?
She dreams every night now, just as he did before, of heaven
Where they'll be Together Again
Once in a lifetime, and not one time more
Fate takes hold, luck is lent
From out of the blue, a miracle occurs
Hearts reunite, Together Again

Run into my heart;
Run right into my arms.
I will never let you go;
I am yours forever, please know.
You make my soul beat;
You bring me back to life.
God, thank You for this love;
God, thank You for this life.

They ride the good dragon-cloud towards warm light
While wistful wind was a wrongdoer on the hollow hill
Wrapped woven from the wounds and wrath`s night,
The wood will wear white woolly witness of the windmill.
Hoarfrost hitch-hikes and hoists with hoarse hood,
Drumming beat of hobble of the army`s fatal feet,
Far away from the glow-worms of their childhood;
Friends fumble the glassware where they might meet.
Falteringly frogs of fancy jump towards the lake’s glass;
Orphan souls sit on the steps of hope in winter`s time
They scrutinize the frozen sky of hope to find the rhyme
Of the verse from the other side they want to happily pass.

Heaven Leigh Kent,
With whom a lot of my time has been spent,
Non of which I even slightly resent,
I assure you, she certainly thinks I am a gent!
When she was two,
The things we use to do,
Was mostly peek a boo,
And hid and go seek,
I have to admit I’d let her peek!
She use to scratch my face,
In her youthful impatient hast,
But her love would quickly erase,
The scars on anyone’s face,
At least in my case!
When she was four,
She would squeal for more,
When to keep her from bore,
I’d pretend to let her drive my car,
But granny would sure give us what for!
She has beautiful, red hair,
Over other kids gave her what for,
Just a few freckles,
Speckle,
On her pretty little pug nose,
A little sun and it glows,
A little sore nose never blows,
That’s just the way it goes!
When she was about six,
She developed a few neat tricks,
She would sit on my lap,
And say I love you grand pap,
She knew how to draw my love sap,
Between us left very little gap!
Shortly thereafter,
She was my master,
But I knew what she was after,
A trip to the candy store,
I am certainly shore,
But without her life would be a bore!
Down the toy aisle
Her mixture of style,
A shopping cart high,
She’s the apple of my eye,
Toys and candy,
She’s grandpa’s dandy!
She’s now virtually a teen,
But not from grandpa weaned,
She is the pretties thing you’ve ever seen,
She still sits in my lap,
And she still draws the love’s sap,
As we recap!
Now just a little bolder,
With a little of the world to shoulder,
She’s found the world to be a little colder,
Than grand pa’s shoulder, that’s older!
Now my heart shudders,
And My mind stutters,
When I think of when she was first born,
For she gave us cause for great alarm,
Born with a heart defect,
As the doctors inspect,
To see what was needed,
Her life was completed!
She died on the table,
As it was labeled,
For two or three minutes,
She received the death sentence,
As she was carried in the arms of Jesus!
One day in a church at the age of three,
She pointed a picture of Jesus, out to me,
She said that man carried me, as I looked to see,
That is how we understood it to be,
At the age of three!
She understands how love between humans should be,
She has shown me how love from heaven should be,
My joy, My granddaughter, heart healthy as can be,
My pretty princess, Heaven Leigh,
I am the grandpa of something that’s heavenly!

The Canvas of Night
Stars like sprinkled sugar,
lay strewn across the canvas of night,
enthralled by the wonder of the cosmos,
my dreams take to the heavens in effervescent flight,
I bathe in the beauty, soaked in sublime delight,
absorbed in moments of bliss, transfixed by the serene sight.
Stars like sprinkled sugar,
lay strewn across the canvas of night,
and my being is infused with feelings of hope,
for even in darkness I find the sprinkled sugar of hope's light.
note: special thanks to one of my heroes, the late Dr. Carl Sagan, for making science accessible to younger me, many, many moons ago.

Needy waves overwhelm
Battering, smashing
Soft flesh quivering
Splintering, raging, angry
Screeching , fists clenched.
I need more then I have!
To quench the fire,
A hunger, burning desire
As oxen grind grain
Doomed to everlasting circle
Consumed by a need
Spontaneous combustion, eruption
Do what I must
Abilities of others,
To comprehend, to know
What I wish I can't do The arrow pierces deep
And the final words
Are of no help
Doesn’t the sun follow rain?
Releasing the parched earth
Who has my tomarrow?
Searching stacks of stuff
Cheating Chinese workers
Can’t get to heaven today
Enough of anything
Weather turns cold
Fields brown, sun is gone
Special celestial light
Summer stolen while I napped
Can’t get to heaven today.

An earthly existence
A universe beyond my minds, comprehension
I die
I rise
Life lessons reviewed
Homeward bound
I am not lost, after all!
I am a willing participant
Serving, the Father, of all creation
His son combined, ‘producing life’ as we know it
Representing them, in everything I do
I am nothing, without Love!
My heart full of faith, loyal service I give
Learning how to unconditionally serve, as the Father unconditionally, loves me
Worshipping our Divine Creator’s existence
Choosing to live, moment to moment
Being as one with ‘Our Universal Father’
No physical permanency
My physicality, disappearing
My mortality existence, I let go of
Death temporary
My spirit alive!
Relief, Peace
‘I am only passing through!’
A unique, experience of mortality
A gift, I am blessed to experience, to live!

The world needs You, Lord;
We all need You too.
Alone, we battle and fall apart,
But we live joyful freedom with You:
Created anew in Your perfect image;
Saved,
Loved,
Changed,
In Your Holy Name!
We pray,
Amen!

Hello world, this is an article about what is happening in Mauritius
Do read, you shall smile and feel that life is indeed gracious
You must have absolutely no idea
How life here in our little island is a panacea
Yes, humanity for the weak runs high
No longer than yesterday, flowers fell from the sky
An old woman caused it all, she lost her purse
And was helped by a group of teenagers, pure at heart!
Sharing what is in excess is up beyond its limits
Yes, to the poor and the downtrodden we do share our food in bits
We even buy more than we do need
So that the hungry we do feed!
Love abounds in every corner of the island
Yes, to all the brothers and the sisters of the world we go give a hand
Life is but a transitory passage
So we do care to make of it here in Mauritius, a blessing!
Faith does live here, side by side with tolerance
So many people, each one having his own belief
Yet, we do always share, with each other, a mystical dance
Always hand in hand, always with smile on our face!
Here, we rush not to work
We do take the time to sit and enjoy the sun
Life here is such fun
Pray, world, life here reminds me of the comfort of Noah's ark!
Here, here was some news from my island
Should you wish to feel this paradise
Do come and enjoy as well
The land here is known to be as beauteous as Eden!

I'm a mess.
I've ruined this body You've designed;
I've ruined this heart You've shined;
I've ruined this breath You've shared;
I've ruined this life You've cared.
I've demolished this freedom You've given,
Yet You give it to me again.
Time and time around I have failed You;
Weak and falling trying to please You.
Earning I cannot for this is a gift from You.
Please forgive me;
Please save me:
You've picked me up and brushed me off;
Thank You for redeeming me.
Thank You for redeeming a sinner like me.
I have fallen once again.
I'm a mess,
But You forgive me.
You save me
Time and time around,
Eternally,
You brush me off and pick me up.
Thank You for redeeming me.
Thank You for redeeming a sinner like me.

There's a planet I believe to be
The globe of harmony
It’s beyond our capability to explore
Vibrating deep in the Universe's core
The luminous colours and pulsating force
Keeps the Universe on steady course
By emitting an energy surge filled potion
Through the power of rhythmic motion
And with each wave of energy brings
The right balance to all things
There’s a planet I believe to be
A gift from the Almighty.

~HER~
Hope was crushed
by pregnant dreams
Her... faith forgotten
or so it seemed...
~HER~
Struggles went unknown
Pain bred unseen
Her... heart beat alone
LOVEs hurt SCREAMS
~HER~
Gates of HEAVEN opened
ESSENCE flowed through
HER frail life now full
everlasting LOVE ensued
Lay
~ I wrote this for my sister Love who is a single mother. Her daughters names are Heaven and Essence. ~

Vanity Upon Vanity
Morning arrives...
Evening takes over
Can't the day stops changing?
Mother born you...
You gave birth to us
Where are your ancestors?
Graveyard here calls...
Your family now run
Why do they stop to love?

In a far off realm beyond the reaches of mankind,
Therein dwells a magnificent place called Heaven.
It's beauty more glorious than anyone could find,
To reward those with faith which God has given,
Who upon death will join Christ where He is risen.
With mighty trumpet blast heard upon the earth below,
Wheat will separate from chaff and all will be made known.
Those who enter heaven's doors released from their strife,
Those who reject the Truth to Hades' gates are shown,
Yet those who endure until the end receive eternal life.

When you're hurt inside,
And there's no where to hide,
And there's no one on your side,
And it's killing your pride,
Inside,
Never take hate outside,
When your heart is chocking,
The heavy words never spoken,
The things that hurt you inside,
When love has died,
Inside,
Never take hate outside,
When your heart is gone,
From being alone,
And it beats a solemn tone,
When you're cold inside,
It's only a short ride,
Never take hate outside

Jesus Paid The Sacrifice!
Jesus sacrificed his life for
you and me!
So we can be with him
for all eternity!
His life for ours…
a ransom was paid IN FULL,
This is why I
I love HIM so!
Upon his head were placed
the crown of thorns,
Enduring so much
shame and scorn.
The blood from his body
as it began to flow!
The pain inside his body,
Began to grow!
The nails placed in
his feet and hands,
The pain he went through
is hard to understand.
His life for ours,
is what he gave!
His life for ours…
Is what he did trade!
By Jim Pemberton

Beauty lamented when faced with that babyface
O do give me more loveliness, with red lace!
Such innocent eyes,
Cunning and wise!
The age of that baby girl
Revolved around two in our world
Yet, she was an attractive one
Charming one, magnetic one
None could get jealous of her beauty
Except beauty itself in all simplicity
If she was hungry, she ate like a bird
If she was thirsty, she drank only curd
If she fell while running, she stood and smiled
If she cried, her surroundings made her not feel exiled!
Dressed in her favourite red dress,
She listened to old stories on her mattress
And fell in deep slumber while dreaming of the Lord
And how it is like in his peaceful abode!
At two, this cute babyface, surrounded with black hair
Could only jump and exalt at life without any care!

It’s hard to live without you ,You were always by my side
Through thick and thin you helped me

A message to the martyrs who fight while we’re asleep
A message to mothers who bow their heads and weep
A message to the orphans who walk at night alone
A message to the broken hearts that constantly just roam
You’re not alone
You’re not alone
There is a God in heaven who hears your heart.
A message to the cutter who releases pain with knifes
A message to the battered, abused at night wives
A message to the homeless sleeping on the ground
A message to the addict that is dying to be found
You’re not alone
You’re not alone
There is a God in heaven who hears your heart.
Don’t listen to the lies they speak
Don’t listen to the tales that creep
Don’t listen to the messages from hell
The music that wants to cast its spell
There’s power in the name of Christ
Let his love be your only vice
And
Forget how all the elders showed you how to lead
Let Gods word be your one true seed.
You’re not alone
You’re not alone
There is a God in heaven who hears your heart.

I am a hypocrite and look what I just did:
I fell into my darkest pit; now, again, and again.
I thought that I was strong enough to live the truths I said;
Now I realized I'm much too weak; a fool too ashamed to raise his head.
God, please save me, please forgive me, and please give me strength.
I love You.
I thank You.
I am forever changed.

Watching the sequence of sound coming out of your mouth...
But the screaming is too loud.
I can speak,
But my brain doesn't want to.
I closed the door.
Silence called for me.
Should I cry or should I run after her?
What have I done to you?
but love you uncontrollably.
Shes then left speechless.
It looks like shes out of breath,
but really I broke her.
She was fragile.
So innocent.
Run, Just run.
A gun raised..
up to her mouth.
And a taint on her heart.

What Do We Expect, As We Seek to Remove God?
As so many people are seeking God’s removal…
It’s like anything from him, we’ve given a refusal!
Many have tried to ban just the reading of his word!
There’s so much truth, just waiting to be heard!
Many anti-God societies have quickly formed!
Even the ten commandments, are often scorned!
We’ve built large cities, many schools, and homes!
But when it comes to God, we’ve often left him alone!
One can try their best to push God back in the corner!
But if you do, things in your life will get “warmer!”
The pleasures and truth you seek,
will come to an end!
And then eternity without God,
will just begin!
You’ll wish you chose to live for God, that eventful day!
You’ll wish that you took the time
to study and pray!
It’s the word of God that you need to study and read!
God knows all about you! And knows your needs!
He deserves all of your praise and full attention!
We need to seek him, for much needed direction!
Please come dear Lord, and cleanse us within!
May we humbly confess our faults and sins!
We need YOU much more, than words can say!
Please be the God we serve!
May we start TODAY!
By Jim Pemberton

*A assignment was due in class. *
Every time a gun shoots
A tree looses its roots
Every time there is bloodshed
Along with it millions of tears are shed
Every time a heart is stabbed
Someone else’s life gets barren
As violence grows
Many more mothers moan
The sounds of destruction
Overpowers the voice of those
Who are innocent
Who suffer with no reason
Who beg for life
Who have heart full of innocence
Why do so much violence?
That the child’s cry cannot be heard
When his father is killed
Why do so much violence?
That a mother moans
Over her child’s dead remains
Why do so much violence
For winning any stupid battle
Which is taking lives
Of people who have wives
And mothers and children
When you can keep calm
Talk things out
Do whatever you can
To keep violence out
Because there is no sin as big as
VIOLENCE

As I die he will be with me,
I fell in love he had the key,
And always knelt on one knee.
My last thoughts are of him,
As the lights go dim,
Life circling on a rim.
All at once we are apart,
The taste is so tart,
It all hits me in the heart.
You are left to live,
My heart your captive,
There is nothing to forgive.
My cheeks blush so shy,
With a tear in my eye,
As I start to die.
Fear not for I am well,
As many up here can tell,
It is not quite hell.
As I look from above,
kissing the forehead of my love,
I wonder what he dreams of.
I look at him so fondly,
his lips curve so grandly,
as he sleeps so soundly.
I'm like a hummingbird fluttering over his bed,
I wish to be with him but I am dead,
My life over and has fled.
I fear for my love for he is kind,
Strong handsome and well lined,
But now I leave him way behind.
Finding love is like a quiz,
Never knowing what it is,
He needs love from a heart as strong as his.

Life is Harsh, Life is good
Only the few of the proud
Those men that stand for a great nation
Their life at the stake
So rough and sharp
Every day is another challenge
For them and for all
Freedom we all hope
But sometimes feel lost
Never give up that spark
Hope don’t give it up for a price
And when I see these great men and woman
Risk their life for a single child lost
With guns all around and wars of hate
I feel blessed as my country truly stands brave
A child is a gift of new life and hope
As I see the children in their arms saved at last
Only then will I ever know true courage
This is a path we should always cherish and follow
When the flame burns out nothing is left but stay strong
So please don’t shed a tear I am right here
By your side always and forever
Our country stands not alone, but as one
Heart filled with love

Poem for Treasures of Your soul contest
for Gail

Life found in a Dream
Today I’m a lonely man living in a cold, cold world filled with indifferences and malice. As time marches on a harsh reality come to my mind, time is on no one’s sided, it is only given once and all must die and tomorrow is not guaranteed. This seems so mean because having no one to really love or so it seemed, I was just a lone no one was on my team.
I started to think and reminisce about the think in life that I missed. Tears appeared in my eyes and my heart skips a beat so I lay down and felled into a deep, deep sleep. Suddenly and to my surprise I was on a beach with soft sand underneath feet. The sky was so blue and the air smelled oh so sweet; it dawned on me that this was a place few have ever seen.
I walk down to the water and what did I see; the sea was strange so let me explain; it was made of crystal with a glow all of its own and the waves gave off a musical tone. As my mind adjusted to sounds and the sight I spied out another wonderful delight. There across the sea, a city brighter than the northern lights, oh what a beautiful sight.
I fell down to my knees overwhelmed by the glory that was before me. I thought that I had died and stepped to the other side. I knew what I was seeing before just could not be true, such beauty, it could not exist, not in my world, never like this. A melody that I have never heard before arose from the City across that crystal sea. It had to be played by Angels, the music was so, so sweet; that I felt a joy from my head to my feet and knew deep in my heart that was where I belong,
Just when I decided to dive in and swim to the other side, I heard a soft voice call out my name. I turned around to see who it was that called out my name. There He was this gentle looking Man with sadness in His eyes. He spoke to me and this is what He said; my son, my son you cannot dive in and swim to the other side. So I ask Him why I can’t swim to the other side, that’s easy for me, am going to try. No, no, no it not for you it not your time was His only reply. I did not understand His reason but I felt His command and suddenly my feet was stuck in the sand, I cried out with hurt and pain in my voice; what lies on the other side, who are you and why can I not go on the other side?
This is the story that He told:
The city that you see beyond the crystal sea it belongs to me and it has streets that are paved in gold. Many mansions lining the roads and in each one there are treasure that are a wonder to behold. There is no hunger, sickness or death, life everlasting and there you can find rest, for all eternity you will be My guest. Now I will answer your second question, my son, my son; I Am, who I Am! I came to earth a long time ago prepare The Way for all my children to come home. This is some that you should know, for it was written for all a long time ago and I am always with you in your times of needs you are never ever all alone. Last but not the least you ask me why; my son, my son it not your time.
Seek and you will find, knock and the door will be open, and until you love Me, it will never be. Now go back and remember what you seen and what you have heard, because time grows short. Spread My words that My kingdom draws near, repent, repent and stop causing Me tears.
I suddenly opened my eyes and I was home in my bed and I start to cry. Never have I felt such joy and peace deep within. I went down on my knees and I ask the Lord Jesus to please come in and would you please forgive me of all of my sins, please live inside of me until the end. I sow the seeds and when the harvest comes you will know where it can from. Keep this in mind cause when it is time He will separate wheat from the weeds and set all of His children free.
(Warning, Warning)
The time is now, and do it before it to late!
Time is on no one side.
Everyone want to go to heaven but no one want to die.
You do not have to worry if you have Jesus inside.
He there for the asking want you try
Do you want Him? He want you, it about free will and you must choose.
The Gift is free, Heaven are hell which will it be?
I hope that I have sowed a seed and it will grow, but it will only grow if you truly believe and have faith deep within your heart and soul.
Time waits for no one!
Faith is something sight unseen will you not set your spirit free? Is it so hard for you to believe that Jesus is the answer and all you need? The door is open want you please come in? Don’t you think it time to find that Kingdom that is way up high filled with riches up in the sky?

Whisper to me
Tell me those things that happen between darkness and dawn
Is there a dance or maybe a trance that remains hidden until morning sun
Whisper to me all that you see
All colors of clouds and blue skies
Show me how far
The distance you are from heaven and sweet lullabyes
Whisper to me
Tell me those things, those things I can only imagine
Stay near to me, help me to see the beauty in all God's creation

I wish to make love to him, this rival poet
I wish to take him there
Or rather, I wish he would take me there
So that no more shall we keep away from each other and be distant
No more shall we feel stony
No more shall we care for the society
Only shall we see the blinding stars
Illuminating our souls, rubbing off from our souls, our scars
The chosen place would be an ancient city of India
There where still living is the Lord's replica
I wish to make love to him there, indeed
For there is where my heart shall beat at full speed
Can you just feel the ecstasy everywhere
It would seem that there, life is all so fair
Because the beautiful Lord used to the king of the city
Always filling everyone with distress at one more prank of his, so funny!
Yes, there, there is where I wish to make love
I wish to be there, with the rival poet
I wish to be able to sing to him, a most melodious duet
As melodious as would be that of the one above
I wish to be in his arms, while walking in marvelous gardens
I wish to have this friend of mine, as kidnapped and stolen
Maybe some fairies would appear
And help me find, for my task, the right steer!
An ancient city of India, surely would I be the Queen
Always pristine, always serene
With a most handsome poet, having like me, a heart of stone
Surely, to my charms, I could have him easily won!

I don't need any money,
I don't need fancy shoes.
I don't need to buy happiness,
'Cause all I need is You.
I don't need expensive clothes,
I don't need things to choose.
I don't need five-star meals,
'Cause all I need is You.
I'm smiling here so wide;
I feel like I'm brand new.
Today is the start of something big
'Cause all I need is You.
My soul is eternally fulfilled;
My heart is being led through.
I don't need anything else,
'Cause all I need is You.

When I Think Of Heaven…
I think of heaven and what a beautiful place it must be.
An opportunity to be with Jesus for all eternity!
I think of the billions that have gone on before me.
And realize that Christ has made a way for me!
Through Christ’ death on the cross, a way was made.
Because of his blood, the price was paid!
Jesus affirmed a life with him, through his resurrection!
Because of him, anyone’s life can be in a new direction!
HIS direction leads to a glorious gift of salvation.
He’s here now, and offers a heavenly invitation!
Whosoever will, let him come and receive life eternal!
Through Jesus, anyone can be written in heaven’s journal!
The promise of a mansion in heaven is for all to receive!
All can put their faith in Christ… And simply believe!
Jesus loves us much more than we can ever know.
And has planned an eternal home, for the soul!
Blessed be HIS name! For the new life he has given!
He offers to all mankind a NEW way of livin’!
Through Christ, the gates of heaven are open…
And through him, death’s grip has been broken!
Heaven is a wonderful place! Please don’t miss out!
Read the Bible and find what it’s all about!

Heart pounding
Nervous feeling
Overwhelming
Deep breath to shake it
Cold chill slivers down fast
Beating against cage of heart
Cage of body
Cage of soul
Legs begging to run
Heart aching to be free
Truth to self
aching to be seen
Sweet scent of dry savannah plains
Sharp smell of thorny veins
The aroma of Africa surrounds
Scents sights sounds
In these home is found
Frustration mounts
Captured leopard
Bound
Snarling at every motion made
Scared but defiant
Blinded by fear and rage
Paws long for endless journeys
On paths walked centuries ago
For elegance in element
A space all her own
Where earth still bleeds red on horizon
Morning and night
Continuing the endless fight
Fight for borderless freedom
Everlasting sight
The pale yellow green eyes
Dismays the truth inside
But tell the story
Of wild soul
Story to unfold

Will my rest in heaven be a soundless sleep?
Will God accept me and want to keep?
Will my kingdom of glory have a warm soothing touch?
Will my body be cold, my spirit be hushed?
Will my rest in heaven be a soundless sleep?
Wil God accept me and want to keep?
Will Jesus be crying,begging for my salvation?
Will my heart have scorn and reject His invitation?
Will I enter gates of paradise onto God`s throne?
Wil I turn away shamefully and die alone?
Will my rest in heaven be a soundless sleep?
Will God accept me and want to keep?
Will I repent and cleanse my sinful being?
Will I continue to flee from "Gods presence" not seeing?
My God and savior awaits my final toll,
His patience caresses my newly saved soul.
My rest in heaven will not be a sound sleep.
My God will awake me.
My soul He shall keep.

Young and innocent they went to school
Expecting to learn and play
Never in anyones wildest of dreams
Did we expect that day
For a rain of tears to shell them
From one lost deep to sin
But heavenly hosts came down for them
Releasing them from him
The devil he did have his day
But God in end dost win
For noubt will be lost but these young lives
Will not be gone in vain
The laws of the land will change in ways
For it must not happen again
Those who reign must stand on this
Take stance and make a difference
No one should be able to take a life
With intent nor mindless innocence
For even when with madmans mind
You cannot be left to mingle
How can you be able to walk in shop
Purchase guns and not be liable
Actions speak far louder than words
And if we let just one slip through
Without accounting for their sin
It might well be me or you
For on anyone these bullets
Might be named to fall upon
So make a difference – make a change
Add your name – petition
The whole wide world mourns in shame
An Amnesty is long past needed
Write your letters – use your vote
Act now while it is fresh
And pray for the souls of all those lost
That each by the Lord be blessed
Also for those who’ve lived through this
That they might find a way
To find the strength and courage
To step out further each day

Somewhere between heaven and hell that place where life seems to be;
It’s disaster or deliverance where many travel without compass.
I’ve combed the many miles of those who have been before me;
And found contradictions in heaven and hell by definition;
So somewhere between heaven and hell perhaps lie you and me;
And apparently we do so with blind intent because;
From here life appears to be nothing more than filling in the gaps.

That feeling that takes your breath away faster than any form of beauty ever discovered,
That feeling when your life just lifts into a phenomenon like no other,
That feeling when you glance into this invisible universe,
Just staring into space no one but you can see,
That feeling when you’re heart races and you sweat with temptation,
By the heat of this unexplained situation,
That feeling when you feel like its heaven,
You don't want to be anywhere else but by that incredible vibe,
That feeling when you came into my life and touched my heart with your angelic hands,
That feeling when you kissed me and sucked my living soul out and spat it into the heavens above,
That feeling when you were my distraction,
My invisible universe,
You were the closest feeling to heaven,
You are all I crave.
My heart longs for that burning desire,
My heart longs for you,
I want to be in heaven.
*’That feeling when you glance into this invisible universe,
Just staring into space no one but you can see’
Meaning that no one can see what you are busy day- dreaming.

" We All Soar "
Through time we all journey and space We All Soar
we can have our desire and everything more.
God’s heaven awaits us with his eternity gift
from earth up to heaven our life’s will all shift.
This is the most beautiful place where the universe ends
amid all of God’s glory where our real love begins.
We will have no expectations and be rid of regret
for here in this moment all our needs have been met.
Our earthly possessions are all laid to the side
they will have no place here where God does not hide.
Surrounded by shining stars our love at last blooms
as the birth of the planets gave life to the moons.
Through space we all journey and time We All Soar
with God in his heaven its him we adore…

Quote: Life Is Poetry In Motion, Great Poets Reflect Emotion...

I Rejoice In Knowing God!
I will cry out to God with my voice!
I take safety in him and rejoice!
I shall seek him in the day of trouble!
He’ll pick me up, when I stumble!
I know that he listens, and is always there!
I shall seek each day, alone in prayer!
I shall remember the Lord’s faithful deeds!
He gives me strength, and meets my needs!
I meditate on his words, and wonders performed!
He picks me up, when I feel defeated and scorned!
He is God and shines with an awesome brightness!
He brings everlasting love, peace and kindness!
Behold! He is God! His power is demonstrated!
His beauty among the heavens, has been demonstrated!
He is God! And shall forever reign supreme!
He is my God! My righteousness and everything!

Life can bring many difficult situations!
Often, there’s really no explanation!
No matter how smart or how wise,
Things can take us totally by surprise!
We can often find our life off course.
Many times, being driven by a “dark force.”
I know that it’s hard to know what to do.
Especially with what you
may be going through!
I can’t think of all the right words to say…
To help you make it through another day!
But there’s someone, I can ask you to turn to!
He loves and is most concerned about you!
His name is Jesus! The almighty God is he!
He’s committed to you now! And for eternity!
He’s the one that you can trust and lean on!
And is someone that you can
certainly depend on!
Won’t you give him an opportunity to help you?
He reaches out his hand! Because he loves you!
He is the source with an eternal heavenly treasure!
He can completely fill you!
Beyond measure!
The decision is yours! A choice to be made!
There’s nothing for Jesus what’s worth the “trade!”
He’s everything that any of us can ever think of!
And can do more for you! Than you ever dreamed of!
He’s the alpha and omega! The beginning and the end!
Won’t you allow him to be your
savior and friend???
By Jim Pemberton

Over your head is a shining light,
Oh mother Mary what a blissful sight.
You came to the world to bless us all,
You brought a son to save the world.
You appear to the sick to give them hope,
To bless them and comfort their soul.
So gentle mother Mary, please bless me
And my family in this life’s journey.
A journey of hope that the ever lasting place
Is a better place for us all.
Please mother Mary help the sick,
Heal them with your blessings this i wish.
I kiss the ground where you walked,
The land of the Cedars that stood so tall.
You are there in every place,
On our hearts we engraved your face.

Christ Stepped Down From His Heavenly Throne!
Christ stepped down, from his heavenly throne.
He came to earth… For 33 years,
he called it his home!
His mission had one purpose and desire in mind!
He was to one day,
be a sacrifice for mankind!
He taught and gave us his words, powerfully spoken!
He knew that one day,
his body would be broken!
He desired that all, would one day, come to know him!
Because of his resurrection,
all can receive him!
He’s alive today! And reigns from heaven above!
And desires to touch us, with his endless love!
Won’t you humbly come, and accept what he’s given?
And experience the power,
of being forgiven!
This can be your moment!
This can be YOUR day!
He loves you much more,
than words can say!
All honor and praise, to Christ Jesus, our king!
You are our righteousness!
Our everything!

A Dark Identity
Days into nights... time without time
Normalities of everyday life beckons to remain
Shadows with lights.... to find to define
I am he who goes by without a name
The world is only up to date
And I’ve decided no more to follow
Bearing time to finally relate
Yet a self I’m to find to wallow
He who walks without an identity... walks alone
And he who walks alone needs be proud
Yet walking forever without finding a home
Have I that heaven beyond the clouds?
I cannot see either far or near
I cannot be to be neither nor
I’m listening... I cannot hear
I’m at peace... I’m at war
I did not know... am I suppose to?
I know I’m alive... is that enough?
Yet, rather not to know than knew
For knowledge shall never last
A mystery if not yet to be
That one mysterious hope to be searching for
I have dreams but what did I see?
I have no one... not one I can call
A darken need shall heed not words
For the dark shall rise as light
The fade will be a promise to be heard
For shadows are without night
And I started to listen distractedly
Hearing for what my eyes cannot see
A hallucinatory moment ever constantly
As I began to believe that of what cannot be
The instant my eyes close
My mind drew as suppose
Sketching a stand alone amid a world once seen
Of ranging fires to have had believed as a dream
And there I was... a lone figure enveloped in darkness
With crossing flames alight yet from a distance as useless
Left as I was before... I am to return as I am
Reliving once more this beginning with never the end
Thus did I continue my path away from the bloodshed
Carefully as one had hoped where a darker darkness be led
No more do I wonder what transported me here
To only know for certain I am riddled of constant fear
“Fear is a fire
To temper courage and resolve
Be it desire
To quench the thirst for one’s unfounded lost”
And there it was... words barely a whisper
Where it came from... no longer matters
For the intended vigor were already cast upon
Serving me with renewed purpose for a sense to belong
Before long, beyond doubts... my callings were clear
The source from where it first began was indeed here
Almost startled, I looked around knowing I’m blinded to see
Too dark as it was, had it not been a lighted green to be
And there it was... a single light beyond the almighty dark
That one greenish light to aid one’s lonesome heart
Rather peculiar for I haven’t notice it before
And naturally I am to walk towards the green grandeur
Flickering and wavy as I drew closer to my destination
Seeing finally for what appears to be the least of expectations
Astonishingly, it was a lantern where within was the sighted fire
And simply the fiery green alone ignites ever on in dire
Levitated in midair, it stands rigid with its haunting presence
With an aura more deserving then welcoming of essence
So mesmerized I was... I wanted to behold
That of warmth for perhaps deliverance from cold
A dare if not, if only, if I must
A flame to embrace, a curiosity to engulf
And surely... I lifted my hand with only a wanting touch
Surely but unknowingly... the flame itself is to parch
Sparkles of green eludes and transcends about
As well an aria, an ancient tune goes aloud
To only see to believe, perhaps my life to perceive
Yet the question being... what did I achieve?
Smoke arises... wavering, quivering, settling...
My time... misgiving, misguiding and misleading
And there he was... rather it be
A human?... isn’t to be I see
“A dark wanderer, perhaps a lone wanderer alone
Regardless... a stranger afar returning home
Have you the teachings bequeath upon you?
From a once being of a knight who knew
For he alone stands unnerve by another
Serving a purpose to hold true forever
The resemblance I see forth leaves me incertitude
Both as mortals... though only he remains in servitude
Yet... my appointment upon you is clear
I am to you drawn as you to me when you hear
Nevertheless, far too long were you of absence
And once more I am in honor to be in your presence
It never is clear what the heavens contrive
For this unsung war... humanities were birth to strive
Every one mortal given birth were forged for war
To ensure the survival of humanities and of peace to befall
For many years this bloodshed wages in dire
Almost as certainly, the spirits of men responsively tire
No more are there ideas nor hopes they are to see
Battling on for pure survival remains what leads them be
Your return however, will perhaps set the tides in our favor
Though I know not the intention, I do not disregard altogether
Do not let the reasons why you have returned cloud your mind
I ask of you rather to remember who you once were to define
The land of The Ancients is never a quest for truth to seek
Purely for good to triumph over evil is the only idea you will need
Prepare yourself well stranger, for good will always be in disguise
Treachery and deception as often will never in itself be a lie
The unforgiving way is still a long one I’m afraid
However well is Heaven to plan... evil as always will await
And until out time will once more cross between us
I assure you... your time in this world will outlast”

Close out your open book of love, life and the past. Go ahead laugh at your mistakes, you can’t change them.
The lessons are in the problems made, don't be enslaved by your pain, there’s nothing gained.
Forgive those who made it so hard to be forgiven, their living, moving on without looking back all smiles while you’re all tears.
Don’t be overcome by despair or grief, letting go is your relief of dreams, love and happiness, to pursue peace, to be satisfied with yourself.
Learn to love yourself.
A mission made alone leave room for open thoughts and your tears are born free, cleansing the soul of impurities of the heart, where compassion starts to grow. Moving towards the sunshine that sets in the eyes.
Chapters read, pages turned of life, love, loneliness, lost hope of dreams, dreamt so pleasant.
Hell bent. Could never been heaven sent or thoughts heaven spent. Pain never the same three times past. It won’t last, healing is a process. In time a finer wine. Bitter sweet.
What is the material of love made of? Left overs when pain is manufactured.
What’s left?
A side road open by pain, a next chapter to be made.
A lesson learn, when does a new life gets a turn? And when do we get to turn the pages of time to look back and close our eyes to dream of lost dreams of rainy days and happiness.
Chapters read seems endless, books of the past to be closed learning to deal with things, letting go.
There will be a happy ending!

I stand, alone.
Scratching for my truths,
peeling away the veneer,
I stand, alone, before this
impregnable cliff so sheer.
Cocooned in my solitary shell,
wrenching a smile from a tear,
I stand, alone, a little odd,
and definitely quite queer.
I stand, alone.

~“Tis torture, and not mercy. Heaven is here
Where Juliet lives, and every cat and dog
And little mouse, every unworthy thing,
Live here in heaven and may look on her,
But Romeo may not."
- William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet, 3.3
Juliet's Plea
Dost thou deem, heav'n only rises with the corpse
upon the last sweet breathe of virgin light
as face dost pale to pearl and roses leave my lips tonight
Romeo, my living eyes knew naught your purpose.
In sooth, I thought thee dead on that black night
and so, no other earthly joy could stay my heart
but heav'ns had we all, before this sorry plight
pray pardon love, I would nay have thee depart.
Abide, abide my love, my Romeo, alas...
by your leave, I hold St. Peter’s gate op’ for thee
And verily, I wait for time is naught in death
and thee, my love, my Lord, are all to me.
*Their love and their deaths were a scandel.

We Wrestle Not Against Flesh and Blood!
We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but powers in a high place!
It’s a battle that continues each day! It’s evil vs. God’s grace!
There are powers of good and evil fighting for you and me!
They’re fighting for where your soul will be for eternity!
The Bible clearly speaks of this, and makes it very clear!
This world, as we know it, shall one day disappear!
This battle is not ours, but a spiritual one that rages!
It’s been going on, since the beginning of the ages!
Satan has unleashed his evil demons to run “here and there.”
His ultimate goal is to see you dead! HE DOESN’T CARE!
Jesus came, to sacrifice his life, to purchase your soul!
He loves you so very much! More than you'll ever know!
If you see yourself “wrestling,”
against another person…
Let this be a reminder to you!
And an important lesson!
The truth of God’s word is relevant!
May it speak to you today!
Where there is a spiritual battle…
Christ has made a way!
He’s made a way to flee! And accept his salvation plan!
The best thing you can do,
is to put you life in HIS hands!
Jesus is the best reason for you to accept him!
Won’t you do it?
Through the struggles and battle of life…
He will see you through it!
Please come Lord Jesus and touch us
with your glory that shines!
For you have already won the battle! And victory can be MINE!
By Jim Pemberton Read Eph. 6:12

hello Jesus I’m Johnny Cash
its been a long and winding dusty road
that I have traveled to get here
I know that I have stepped off
the right path a few times in my life
but I have known and loved you since
I was just a little boy
I really hope that that counts for something
in my life I have tried to do the best I can
to help and be of comfort to my fellow man
by my deeds and my songs
the talent that you gave to me
I pray I have used it well and made you proud
singing for my supper in the beginning was not easy for me
one of the greatest gifts that I ever received from you
and I believe that you had something to do
with finding the love of my life my wife June
I thank you for that gift that changed me for the better
June was the wind beneath my wings
I have always known she was an angel
from heaven you sent to me
I stand before you at the gates of heaven
a humble man with hat in hand
my hope is that you will let me into heaven
and be invited to join your band

God Gives His Very Best!
God loves YOU! And always
gives his best!
He offers his love!
Why settle for less?
He provides everything you’ll ever need!
And has given his word to direct and lead!
He gave his son to be sacrificed for us!
And asks us to give him
our heart and trust!
His son came to you may have life eternal!
So that your name can be in
heaven’s journal!
Won’t you take this time, and accept him?
There’s no reason to refuse
and reject him!
Won’t you allow his presence to fill you?
Before the problems of life
“overwhelm” you!
He’s God! He can do more than
what you can think of!
And he loves you more
than any words can speak of!
By Jim Pemberton

Church view other religions
Church respects other religions
That is good and true
She respects and promotes freedom of religion
Human right
Effect of the Truth will be seen later
She knows Father Christ, sole redeemer of mankind
He alone is “the way, the truth and the life” ([St.] Jn 14 : 6)

UNSUPPORTED CODE We often hear this topic across our nation.
Another person crying; “discrimination.”
In our many attempts to not discriminate.
It seems like it’s God that we seek to eliminate.
It seems like we’ve come up with our own “rules.”
And somehow have turned into a bunch of “fools.”
We accept many perversions of various kinds…
But God himself? We seem to close our minds!
In many of our lives, we’ve “kicked “ him out.
And refuse what he really is about!
The words, “In God we trust...” Our money bears it!
Anything of God? We’re afraid to share it!
It seems like the courts almost say he doesn’t exist!
And have brought much confusion into our midst!
As many say it’s “offensive” to display a cross…
Many godly values have already been lost!
It’s time to wake up America! And begin to see!
The kind of country we’re beginning to be!
A country that’s foundation is getting off course.
Being driven by a wicked and ungodly force!
Out only hope is in God! And him alone!
We must invite him back into our homes!
To God and his word we must hold secure and fast!
He is our only hope that our country will last!

Some complain of snow
Some complain of the cold
But what falls from the sky
Is much more golden than gold
Blessings from the sky
Yet we turn a blind eye
We instead express our disgust
When we could turn our sins into dust
We could pray to alleviate someone’s pain
But instead we scowl and frown on that rain
We could thank God instead of making a fuss
(It’s not like He’s throwing rocks down at us!)
A time to be grateful,
Yet we just complain
We could be making precious du’aa
For major beneficial gain
But it’s easier to grumble
Roll your eyes and shake your head
You may regret not taking advantage of this
When you’re long gone and dead
Don’t delay being
Grateful to your Lord
Let your heart live out
The ‘alhamdulileh’ word.

Midnight Cries
In midnight skies the cries of love drift off to sleep in endless love.
For he who heard them.
Sent them hope, that God created a world for them.
For us to see and bare good times.
For no more hurt and devishlish crimes.
For the earth which once was good.
Is soured and torn.
There are no morals or dreams no more.
Or hope of good things when suffering soars.
For they are crushed by his vast sword.
For he who has the greater sin.
He has carried and been burdened with.
He has been forgotten.
In times like these.
Because people hearts bleed with disease.
For they have burdened him with more sin.
They have forgotten the pain he is in.
For he so carried his cross with pride.
A younge man who was destined to die.
No matter what the world does think.
This man did live before we did.
We have lost our way in darkened times.
Like lost sheep we have roamed, away from him.
If youd only listen and help to carry his cross.
Take the blame for things done past.
Change our ways for hope to last.
We wont do that out of pride.
When he is denied.
I feel for him.
I pick his cross up and help him off the ground.
For he is my brother.
Who I have found.
He has carried that cross.
No man deserved his life in such a lose.
Tormented and torturded to no extent.
He didnt look like a mere man in the end.
He coutinued to stand even after he fell.
Showing me the strength of Heaven and hell.
For a man so strong, so bold and kind.
Showed me what we can do as man kind.
He gave his life for everyone who reads this.
For those who can not see.
Do not be blind
Find this man, for he needs you.
He gave his life to save you.
With your help, you raise his cross.
You heal that burden of love.
That has been lost.
Ease his pain and find your way.
For Heaven is a start and hell is a step away.

And he sure did not tiptoe in,
To whisper his charm.
Kindling a buzzing din?
Or a rustle fraught with harm?
Unbodied voices of delusion,
Screeching to trick,
One foot on cloud nine,
Shadowed by the Devil’s peek.
Pulling off the mundane apparels,
Draping my pale canvas
In squirts of colorful tubes.
Colors of fantasy?
Dreams? Illusions?
Cleansing one corner of my restless mind,
Mind? Or do we call it heart?
He has tapped figments,
Figments that had been long purring
And sleeping;
Plugging the voids in my mind,
Let’s call it - the hollows in my heart,
With that which we call,
Life.

Ive seen the past in the back of my eyes
Ive lived mylife reaching toward the skies
Memories flash by and make me smile
Im looking atthe end that coming in a short while
Ive suffered pain and grief enough for two life times
So I welcome the angels songs and harp chimes
Ill be traveling to heaven here I know I belong
For now Ill be brave and sing you my death song
Ive tasted the finish but now I fear not
God is on my side and I love him alot
I have laughed with the reaper as he told me his grim joke
Were not old friends but strangely now Im his kinfolk
Ive suffered pain and grief enough for two life times
So I welcome the angels songs and harp chimes
Ill be traveling to heaven here I know I belong
For now Ill be brave and sing you my death song
I know fullwell that I cannot escape my demise
Just acceptmy fate is what everyone has cometo advise
For now I exist on the tears of those who weep
They give me love and hope that I can forever in my soul keep
Ive suffered pain and grief enough for two life times
So I welcome the angels songs and harp chimes
Ill be traveling to heaven here I know I belong
For now Ill be brave and sing you my death song
This is for all the people who Ive known and who I dont know that have stared at death and been strong.

This town was the place we used to call our haven
You don’t remember which road we’ve driven on
The stars were shining against your cherished soul
You’re a part of my belongings
You’re ascending above the ground
The peace is still like hidden treasure – it’s bound to be found
I believe in you…I put my faith in you
After the miracles you’ve performed
You don’t agree with what you truly are
The sky is grieving
You jump from puddle to puddle
You’re struggling to meet your destiny
Even if your body is saturated in sweat
You must keep your head above the sea
Follow me and I’ll lead you to divine haven
Forgive the past that embraces you with remorse and think upon our jubilant future
It’s tempting to just give up and turn around
I could tell you've been stressing out
But rest your head on my shoulders and let loose your strain on me
Each melody is an exquisite sound that bounces into our ears
Commotion and strife will cease and your heart will be free
We’ll flee together…despite the unwholesome weather
The voyage has just begun…hold my hand and we’ll rise like the sun
Trust me…we will be strengthened and well-equipped before we take that road of victory
Follow me and I’ll lead you to divine haven
Forgive the past that embraces you with remorse and think upon our jubilant future
It’s tempting to just give up and turn around
You’d rather be drifting away and never be seen again
I wanna change your mind and erase your frown
Take your mind off of the distressful past
Let loose your strain on me
Hey! I know you’re stronger than you realize
You’re not a failure – don’t be disheartened
Don’t worry…you and I will earn our future prize
This mess will clear up in a moment
Just stay by my side and never depart
From the light… I promise that we’ll endure till the end
Just stay nearby and our hope won’t tear apart
We are willing to do anything to attain our wishes and delight
Let’s take action and snatch our glory before our time is up
Follow me and I’ll lead you to divine haven
Forgive the past that embraces you with remorse and think upon our jubilant future
It’s tempting to just give up and turn around
You've been trying to keep a steady pace
But rest your head on my shoulders and let loose your strain on me
Let loose your stress on me…
Don’t be under pressure
Let me handle your anxiety…
Reach towards our divine haven
Do you need a helping hand?
I wish you a carefree
Future

If I had the wings of an eagle
I would soar to the heights of the sky,
To look down on the beauty of life itself
And the marvels of creation from on high.
I can imagine all that our Creator does see
As He watches from heaven above,
Every creature, every thing that He has made,
Every beauty, each thing how he must love.
If I had the wings of an eagle
I would soar to the heights of the sky,
To look down on the beauty of life itself
And the marvels of creation from on high.
Can you imagine what it would feel like
To soar through the clouds way up above,
To kiss the edge of Heaven itself,
And feel the touch of God's own love.
Oh, if I had the wings of an eagle
How I could feel so free from earth beneath.
To soar to the very heights of the sky,
And enjoy the quiet of the clouds soaring by.
If I had the wings of an eagle
I would soar to the heights of the sky,
To look down on the beauty of life itself
And the marvels of creation from on high.

I’m hoping for my dreams to become a reality
I’m hoping for a phase of gratitude
I’m rejecting my hopeless fate
I’m accepting your side of the story…but don’t intrude
Unexpectedly, I believe in love in first sight
I grab the rope for extra support
It burns like a vertical line of fire
I’m unable to climb, but I seem too far from my desire
I’m sliding down the rope, hanging from heaven
They’re distraught by my absence
They’re cheering for me from down below
I’m sliding down…
I cherish you like my own belongings
I designed you on my bedroom wall
I have you displayed deep in my heart
Believe me – you’ll never split it apart
Every day I long for your touch – you changed my life around
My heart is blazing like the zealous sun…I prize my freedom and progress
The world is spinning endlessly as I kneel upon my knees
And I imagine the memories we share with each other
I’m sliding down the rope, hanging from heaven
They’re distraught by my absence
They’re cheering for me from down below
I’m sliding down…
When I reflect upon the joyous times,
My heart never fails
To pound vigorously for you
I’m sliding down
I’m looking forward to spending the rest of my life with you
I see the light in your eyes
I don’t see an insidious nature in you…
I wish I hadn't believed in the lies
I never felt like a hopeless victim until I gave in to the darkness
I’m sliding down the rope, hanging from heaven
They’re distraught by my absence
They’re cheering for me from down below
I’m sliding down…
I’m glad I've met you in the first place
We’re a perfect match –
Don’t deny it…you made me feel handsome
We’re on the road of victory
We’re making great progress
We’re hanging on the edge,
But we were rescued
From sliding down…
At least we’re kept ourselves alive……

life is fleeting
passes swiftly by
every soul is born to die
every moment soon will pass
this earthly life does not last
where are we to go from here
the end of life we hold so dear
every one of us will perish
as will those we love and cherish
life is fleeting
does not last
into darkness will we be cast
or into a light so warm and bright
with long lost loved ones in our sight
some believe in heaven and hell
some believe in nothing
some have died and come back to tell
some saw heaven some saw hell
but each passing soul saw something
some say the light is blue
some say it is white
some said darkness was beckoning
some simply followed the light
one day death will come
all that lives will sucumb
back to choas of which we came
or cast into an eternal flame
some say hell is a frozen lake
not hot but very cold
not one of us wants to find out
and if i may be so bold
some are what i call sheeple
believing all they're told
how did God come to exist
an end of something that makes sense
but no beginning
i cannot conceive
but thats what some believe
how did God come to be
its far too complicated for you and me
where are our souls to go
perhaps we are not meant to know

I dream of eternity and nothing will equate,
Destiny falls as it collided with fate.
I can’t help but think it’s too late,
I just know somehow heaven can wait.
Life presents obstacles some of them bad,
I slip back to memories of good times had.
Sometimes overwhelming I start to feel sad,
I try to accept change and not get mad.
Pieces of the puzzle remain scattered across the floor,
I look up to the sky to see what is in store.
I get what I need because I wanted it more,
As a window closes, it opens a door.
You can never know what you will get,
I only know I haven’t gotten there yet.
The sun kisses the horizon as it sets.
Many things in life seem to ride on a bet.
I’ll just live my life heaven can wait,
I wake up and wipe clean the slate.
I look to tomorrow will it be too late.
I feel like a fish that has taken the bait.

Today I’m a lonely man living in a cold, cold world filled with indifferences and malice. As time marches on a harsh reality come to my mind, time is on no one’s sided, it is only given once and all must die and tomorrow is not guaranteed. This seems so mean because having no one to really love or so it seemed, I was just a lone no one was on my team.
I started to think and reminisce about the think in life that I missed. Tears appeared in my eyes and my heart skips a beat so I lay down and felled into a deep, deep sleep. Suddenly and to my surprise I was on a beach with soft sand underneath feet. The sky was so blue and the air smelled oh so sweet; it dawned on me that this was a place few have ever seen.
I walk down to the water and what did I see; the sea was strange so let me explain; it was made of crystal with a glow all of its own and the waves gave off a musical tone. As my mind adjusted to sounds and the sight I spied out another wonderful delight. There across the sea, a city brighter than the northern lights, oh what a beautiful sight.
I fell down to my knees overwhelmed by the glory that was before me. I thought that I had died and stepped to the other side. I knew what I was seeing before just could not be true, such beauty, it could not exist, not in my world, never like this. A melody that I have never heard before arose from the City across that crystal sea. It had to be played by Angels, the music was so, so sweet; that I felt a joy from my head to my feet and knew deep in my heart that was where I belong,
Just when I decided to dive in and swim to the other side, I heard a soft voice call out my name. I turned around to see who it was that called out my name. There He was this gentle looking Man with sadness in His eyes. He spoke to me and this is what He said; my son, my son you cannot dive in and swim to the other side. So I ask Him why I can’t swim to the other side, that’s easy for me, am going to try. No, no, no it not for you it not your time was His only reply. I did not understand His reason but I felt His command and suddenly my feet was stuck in the sand, I cried out with hurt and pain in my voice; what lies on the other side, who are you and why can I not go on the other side?
This is the story that He told:
The city that you see beyond the crystal sea it belongs to me and it has streets that are paved in gold. Many mansions lining the roads and in each one there are treasure that are a wonder to behold. There is no hunger, sickness or death, life everlasting and there you can find rest, for all eternity you will be My guest. Now I will answer your second question, my son, my son; I Am, who I Am! I came to earth a long time ago prepare The Way for all my children to come home. This is some that you should know, for it was written for all a long time ago and I am always with you in your times of needs you are never ever all alone. Last but not the least you ask me why; my son, my son it not your time.
Seek and you will find, knock and the door will be open, and until you love Me, it will never be. Now go back and remember what you seen and what you have heard, because time grows short. Spread My words that My kingdom draws near, repent, repent and stop causing Me tears.
I suddenly opened my eyes and I was home in my bed and I start to cry. Never have I felt such joy and peace deep within. I went down on my knees and I ask the Lord Jesus to please come in and would you please forgive me of all of my sins, please live inside of me until the end. I sow the seeds and when the harvest comes you will know where it can from. Keep this in mind cause when it is time He will separate wheat from the weeds and set all of His children free.
(Warning, Warning)
The time is now, and do it before it to late!
Time is on no one side.
Everyone want to go to heaven but no one want to die.
You do not have to worry if you have Jesus inside.
He there for the asking want you try
Do you want Him? He want you, it about free will and you must choose.
The Gift is free, Heaven are hell which will it be?
I hope that I have sowed a seed and it will grow, but it will only grow if you truly believe and have faith deep within your heart and soul.
Time waits for no one!
Faith is something sight unseen will you not set your spirit free? Is it so hard for you to believe that Jesus is the answer and all you need? The door is open want you please come in? Don’t you think it time to find that Kingdom that is way up high filled with riches up in the sky?

We have dreams to fulfill.
We have goals to achieve.
We have hearts to inspire.
We have love to give.
We have faith to teach.
We have hope to send.
We have strength to create.
We have bravery to find.
We have positivity to shine.
We have courage to build.
We have stories to tell.
We have hands to hold.
We have lives to live.
All in Your Heavenly name,
We pray,
Amen.

LORD! We will be blessed with a heaven,
Where fountains of milk and honey will run!
Where no pain and tears will darken!
Where on desire, everything will be won!
Only around pleasure and beauty, but fear none!
Forever on, will dwell there immortally, yes unforgotten!
O Lord, but, I should adore this framed heaven,
These captive minds overlook a blessing; it’s a notion,
Ah this another life will free the soul from this dreading ocean,
Where Fright of loss of a beloved won’t haunt me like a demon,
Where night won’t terrorize my soul of any misfortune,
Oh yes there would my soul rest with no fear frozen,
Will wear a smile when this disquieting concern will be abandon,
I say only this peace of heaven will make my heaven …heaven

Blasphemy
The caustic tongues of the evangelists,
Across all creeds and faiths,
Seem as brittle as an old bone.
For they promise heaven and they spew forth threats of hell
While neglecting the words of that man who walked in Galilee
'let him who is without sin, cast the first stone'
the caustic tongues of the evangelists...
across all religions
new-age and the ones of old
baffle me even as I hear
a single simplistic sermon
for they really do, view us all
as blind imbeciles
scurrying around like faithless vermin
the caustic tongues of the evangelists...
wag on and dazzle us with visions of an eternal paradise
while here and now
their hypocrisy festers
within their earnest
well-meaning eyes...
'...dil mein hai khwaaish-e-hoor-o-jannat
aur zaahir mein shauk-e-ibaadat
bas hamen sheikh-ji aap jaise
allah-waalon se allah bachaaye...'
'...in your heart you desire the maidens of heaven
yet in the now you practice the rituals of piety
o' sheikh, may allah protect me
from the people of allah like yourself...'
is my tongue as caustic as the tongues I write about?
if so, then glad am I
for they shouldn't be the only ones
who preach and rant and continually shout
from their pulpits ever so high in the sky
from their hubris of comfort in possessing the 'truth'
from their 'knowing' that heaven or hell
awaits both the strong as well as the meek
while oblivious to the reeking foul smell
that encourages prejudice and hate
and visions not of peace
but of endless chants and prayers
which they, in their opium haze
rattle on and on
as they never seem to cease to speak
and though I’m sure that all this bile that I have spewed
will threaten
hurt
and offend
friend and
unfriend and
acquaintance alike
but...
take pity on me instead
for it'll surely be I
who'll burn eternally
impaled by a benevolent god
on a slightly warmer than normal day in hell
on a crude wooden spike.

Caught with glances past
Holding memories going fast
Faces lost pasts caught
I am sorry but I have no memory
Of any times with you
As good as you look
Your only a odd felt hook
And what we had is now only you
As I open a new book
You would be some thing new
Yes I remember
But theres nothing that I feel
Here to remind me, nothing now here to do
I have nothing but pains for the memory
Your not even a fact or a smell
So untill you are actually bold
I will count you as cold
Some where in a dream I can't hold

An individual's death is as unique as the life which preceded it,
but the way the body shuts down is always the same process.
When your brain has determined that there is something fatally wrong,
your brain then shuts down all but your body's most important life giving functions
and focuses on repairing the damage proving life threatening.
Once your brain has determined that there isn't anything more that it can do
to save the life which is very rapidly going to be through,
your brain then performs its final and most important of life giving functions.
It kicks into overdrive manufacturing and re manufacturing
excess quantities of dopamine.
Within seconds dopamine is completely, totally flooding your system.
Any sensation of pain, fear or any other negative emotion
are all completely and totally alien.
You have reached the highest state of euphoria that you have ever experienced.
You have attained your after life. You have entered your heaven,
and then you die, bringing to an end your life's total existence.
What follows is a place of complete nothingness.
This is the place where Nothing truly exists.
No time, no matter, no consciousness,
except that perhaps your final moment of eternal bliss
is now the only entity in existence in this abyss of nothingness,
and nothing is forever,
and so forever in your heaven forever will be this.

You offered me a
false paradise
When I am dead
You offered me
Utopia
But my world
Was hell instead
And when I leave
this earth
Knowing this to be
true
That my seeds have
inherited iniquities
And pestilence in
full
You stand on the
pulpit
Propagating lies
And you do not
deceive me
Because I have eyes
You plunder our
riches
While you turn me
against my brother
And made fools of us
So I wonder
You work on our
avarice
Turned brave men
timid
It is an act of
cowardice
Welcome to the
apocalypse
When there was
enough bread
To go round
You mocked me
instead
And made me look
like a clown
Made me beg for my
birth right
Which you call a
privilege
And anytime I raise
my voice
People called it a
sacrilege
You told me to wait
for heaven
While you built
yours on earth
You told me it will
be better
Yes I could never
forget
Castles on the moon
Parties in
Wonderland from
January to June
Pegasus with golden
wings flying men
like gods
While we eat from
garbage cans like
dogs
But it was never my
turn to go to heaven
Even though I had
one life to live
It was never my turn
to go to heaven
Because there is
nothing more to give
My heaven is now
Not tomorrow
Because I will not
live a life of
sorrow
My heaven is now not
tomorrow
Because life is not
something that we
can borrow

some ****ed in the mouth, put blades
He was not absurd
to give us words.
we have given ourselves
to appear more beautiful
to love otherwise
criminals
to be perfect
we do not feel alone
+ need to explain
why and how, etc..
all are funny
and finally I do not understand
Where is He in all of this!?
look
Can it and shout:
Oh, my God!
but I must take care
to pray
not be afraid
to forget all the words
me to stay away
because some of they make a love of this things
just for them.

The Fourth Fable
The Fourth Fable
A Jesus Cowboy Song
Eye am a strong man iff strength is not physical alone,
but charachter and hope, love become my armour
my arm as gates once opened close now new ones open at a glance in poverty
of riches poor people there in Heaven sing to Jesus as they wave branches from
the richness of the trees beside the waters running in the trenches freely given
overflowing when a little lamb just wants a drink of water another drink the water
bubbles up so no one has to lift her she can reach the water carefully she drinks
and then she sings…'
'my holster is empty my life is complete my love is in Heaven
eye have plenty to eat and to drink '
life is not meant to be a shoot em up rodeo
life is not meant to be a shoot um up movie
my life is in Heaven my holster is empty
eye have LOVE'

We don't need to go out and party,
We don't need to drink,
We don't need to socialize,
We don't need to go shopping,
We don't need to spend money,
We don't need to go to a movie,
We don't need to watch sporting events,
We don't need to go out to eat,
Because we found love,
And our love is enough.

Passion in D-Major
Feeling, the sensuous brush-
strokes on a canvas,
swirling,
to a symphonic crescendo,
of our shared heartbeats,
fading between the notes,
feeling your soft body entwined
with mine,
your form bathed in my infinite
kisses,
our orchestral desire rising,
conducting a shared fusing of
passion,
... the music echoing ...
over the precipice,
on the brink of dazzling rainbow
hues,
lost in the void,
of an eternal instant,
plunging through the depths of
rhyme,
pleading,
forever pleading,
for a prolonged,
bouquet of shared time.

What Have I Done For Jesus???
I’m trying to remember the things I’ve dreamed of…
There so much I haven’t done, that I can think of!
I’m trying to remember when I was just a young boy…
There were things in life that I really enjoyed!
But, as I grow older, and it’s all done and said…
I feel more aches and pains each time I get out of bed!
This old body of mine is growing very weary and old.
I don’t have a lot of time, as I have been told!
There’s one area in life, where I’ve fallen short of a goal…
I haven’t given God a chance to redeem my soul!
I suppose I’ve been too prideful and stubborn at best…
I need to give God my life, and let him take care of the rest!
Dear Jesus, I come to you now and confess my sinful ways!
I accept you as my Lord and savior, for the rest of my days!
Please come lord Jesus, and bring your healing deep within!
Cleanse and change me, and take away all of my sin!
You’re what I need! And are truly my best friend!
How I love and appreciate you! Again and again!
By Jim Pemberton 09/29/13

With the best of intentions and a heart of grace…
Christ died on a cross! He took our place!
With the best of heaven close by his side…
Christ opened the door to heaven ever so wide!
With the best love that anyone could bring…
He took away our sin and “erased” everything!
With the best that his father could bring from above.
It was his gifts of mercy,
grace and love!
With the “best” man could offer, he would still “fall short.”
God brought the gift of salvation,
down into our “court.”
With hearts filled with wickedness and so much sin…
Through Christ’ shed blood...
We can be made “born again!”
With each day we have... Christ is always here!
His commitment to us is everlasting and secure!
With every moment of the day
we have before us…
May we spend time with God…
He’s always with us!
With what God has given to you….
Won’t you come to him?
Through his son Jesus,
your heavenly journey begins!
“I LOVE YOU!” Are the words God has written!
This can be the day your changed and forgiven!
By Jim Pemberton

In the Bible book of Romans there is a simple way
To know the way to heaven that you can know today.
The first truth we must realize is there’s not a righteous one;
In Romans three it’s stated—verse ten says, “There is none.”
We’re shown that we are sinners, as shown in chapter three;
Verse twenty-three says clearly it includes you and me.
Then we must know the sentence: it’s a death that separates
Us from a home in heaven in an eternal state.
That passage there in Romans starts out in chapter six,
Verse twenty-three states clearly the penalty is fixed.
We see the reason for it in Romans chapter five:
Verse twelve says one man sinned then, now all who are alive
Have this sentence passed upon them, but now look at verse eight!
For Christ has paid the sentence, we can enter heaven’s gate!
As we go back and read it in chapter six again,
Verse twenty-three has good news of forgiveness from our sin!
We all have earned the wages of death to come some day,
But God’s love has provided eternal life this way:
His gift, Christ dying for us, we now by faith receive:
The act of Him receiving is simply to believe.
For chapter ten and verses ten through verse thirteen
Explain the simple process that can be clearly seen:
Confess now the Lord Jesus, with your heart now believe,
And call upon the Savior, this new life to receive!
Then we can know forever that we are justified,
Secure in Him forever who for us one day died.
See Romans five, verse one now; see Romans 8:1, too;
Then read the final verses to see this blessing true.
Start at verse twenty-nine there and see God’s wondrous love,
And how He has secured you that home in heaven above!
Yes, in this book of Romans a road God clearly shows
How we can go to heaven, and for sure it we can know!

I'll meet you
Next lifetime
When everything is
In its perfect place
When all questions
Are answered
In the courts of heaven
When dreams
Become real
When time lets go
of empty memories
And forever is filled
With magical moments to last
I'll feel you
When the heartbeat
is steady and sure
When I have nothing else to write about
But only of us
I'll meet you there
Next lifetime.
(Note : Though unfinished, I'm glad to post this. Wandering mind and sensitive
heart keep me warmed up to the task. Hope it doesn't take me till next life
to finish this one though...By the way, to anyone, please don't hesitate to
correct me with proper syntax and better grammar, if needs be.. :-)..thanks!

Ah, here you have come again,
Again you sit in this chair,
How familiar this room so is,
So solitaire in your life, ha, how fair it is,
How you engulf those emotions in bitter fire,
Drown your frown in a realization of emptiness,
How you realize the loneliness and abandonment of your mind,
Your hope and wish to fill the empty, lonely void,
Perhaps one day it shall all change,
But in the now you suffer,
You wonder your discoveries,
How enlightening were they really?
Hanging your head so low,
As if seeming to pray in the eyes of others,
In amidst reality you hide the corners of your saddened mouth,
Your hands caressing the wounded mask,
To lose yourself in words,
You search for comfort,
A faded hand upon your shoulder,
But your shoulders carry only the burdens of others,
To have your shoulders broken,
No others to offer theirs up,
You watch the river wash you away,
As you drown and ascend to your new home up above.

I can feel Your presence;
I can feel You in all that I do.
I can feel You walking with me,
And I don't know what to do.
I just need to trust You
Because this is a journey I cannot see.
I am giving up;
Thank You for taking the lead.

She lies in a pile of bloody red roses
She left a note to her folks saying
" I cant go on im sorry"
It didnt say why
But still we cry
We are all very sad
some of us are mad
none of us are glad
She'll b greatly missed
To me she was like a sis
But when will the rumors stop
Noone knows the truth not even the cops
My pain is great
I wish we hadnt been late
But when we got there
there she lay
on her already made bed of
Bloody red roses

all I wanna do
is fall into loves sweet embrace
and telling you all this
as I stare into your beautiful face
lovin you forever is my goal
for you have the key to my soul
I think we are both falling
and knowin we'll each b there
to catch the others fall
as we hold onto each other
into loves sweet embrace

There's no heaven above me
and this world's trying to bring me down
Thinking what goes, will come back round
But there seems to be no heaven above me
And the worlds getting ugly
I'm searching for comfort
but your arms, they don't want to hug me
I guess there's no heaven above me
Sitting still in this storm, Calm, and i can't breathe
Running homeless for days and I miss Autumns leaves
Vacant are my tears But i can't breathe
Rain falls from my eyes But i won't leave
Take me to a place Where i can live
Flowers no longer growbecause man can't give
At the bus stop But i won't turn
My patience's fatigued But i won't learn
I believe in me and i believe in you
i believe we hold the truth and it will see us through
Crystals no longer shine for champagne is trust
When it's all said and done, again i'll see your dust
There's no heaven above me
and this world's trying to bring me down
Thinking what goes, will come back round
But there seems to be no heaven above me
And the worlds getting ugly
I'm searching for comfort
but your arms won't hug me
I guess there's no heaven above me
"Sometimes we go through things
and there seems to be no end in site,
Smile, because there could be"
angels, demons, bad luck & Champagne

I think I was an astronaut
Aimed for the stars.
They fill me up;
They refuel my tank.
They enable me to believe,
Telling me to never give up
As they follow me all of my days.
If only we could see the beauty
That they truly are.
They shout out dreams
That we can reach so far.
Climb into the rocket
And liftoff!
On a journey to discover ourselves,
We are taught so much more,
Learning our goals are only a plan away.
Even thought we must return,
I know that I will be back.
I am an astronaut,
And we always reach for the stars.

you were there
and so was i
you in youre world and me in mine
yet somehow we werent there at all
and our worlds were just to small
together we would unite
leaving our old worlds behind
creating a new worlds together
one that we would share forever and ever
now here we are
as we have and always will be
in a world that we created
for only you and me
no longer in our own worlds
but in our dream world

Just the other day
a scene caught my eye
parents picking flowers for the grave of a child
tears filled my eyes as I realized
this was the only gift for Christmas they could by
but we have hope in gloryland
someday we'll meet again
what a glad reunion that will be
no more pain and strife
or loss from this life
yes, we have hope
over in glory land
I have a baby
in heaven you see
and the angels are holding that baby for me
somedays I cry , then I stop and realize
Heaven is just a sweeter place for me
I have family
and loved ones
waiting over there just for me
and I know they are sick no more
Then I start thanking Jesus
for The Precious price He paid
thanks to Him I have heaven to look for.

God Wants You To Be With Him forever!
Heaven can one day be your
eternal home!
You can have a mansion
next to God’s throne?
You can know for a certainty…
Where you’ll be spending eternity.
Through Christ, your sins
can be forgiven!
Christ’ love can change
the way you’re livin’!
You can know
beyond any doubt.
What true life is all about!
You can know
the peace of God today!
Meditate on God’s word
and what it has to say!
Why not give your heart to him?
And know what it means
to be born again!
Your life can have
a Godly direction!
And accept his heart-felt invitation?
You can know God’s
life changing power?
What are you waiting for?
This could be YOUR hour!
By Jim Pemberton

An angel, cradles me, in her motherly arms
I have fallen, I am venerable
I told myself, I would not do this, no more
I have failed to keep my promise, to you
I have not stayed true
Tears flowing, as I smile, just, for you!
Remembering the times, when you cupped my face, in your hands
Your blue eyes, gazing into mine
Telling me with sincerity
‘I am the sunshine, that lights up your world, each day that dawns’
My heart aches, it rains with love, having fond memories of us
Wash me clean, being human, is challenging me!
Emotional bondage, creating blocks
I need to move on, you are dead and buried
Your time here, over
My heart struggling, accepting this reality
“Forgive me”
I pray to be free!
“I Love you, my beloved, friend”

The end of our souls, our mercy, our righteousness;
With twelve hundred walkmans
With twelve hundred radios
With twelve hundred televisions
All going out at once- static – static
All being crushed by the hand of humanity,
Communication,
Ill misfortune,
All in tune to the same crashing station
Static.
Like they stated in scriptures, rushing in succession
Tearing down doors teaching a lesson.
Let’s recognize this mess were in,
Jesturing to let the demons in,
Run faster, shut the door before the evil comes in.
But that box has already been opened
With our ill hearts
And wrecked souls,
With our mercy for genocide,
And ‘equality polls.’
Static - Static
I can remember a Paris church on Palm Sunday
Entirely filled with lit candles
One for each prayer we brought
And I wonder why my prayers must be so long
Praying for all of the struggle to be gone
Praying to relieve the pain from our homes
Praying to ease the curse from our souls.
This is not the end of us,
No zombie apocalypse
No meteor swallowing us
Just our faded minds
Coming out to hide.
Static.
Tell me that a lesson isn’t a lesson until it is taught right.
Yes, these happenings are real even when they’re not in site.
Look closer.
Close your eyes.
Look out at your own life.
For each soul, we are drowning in ankle deep water,
Pretending this earth is perfect
Is just going to hold us under.
Don’t bother to try if you haven’t tried yet
Because there are those of us out here that just don’t forget-
The drinking and driving,
The death of Dak,
The shootings and short comings,
And the *****that we lack.
**** man,
You see this world is cruel
But we can clean up this mess and make it beautiful
Just if we open our eyes
And see that this is
The end of the world.

Trapped. No where to hide.You scream at me through the door.Though your words still
sting me.
I sit on the ground alone.Blood drips down like tears. tears run down like rain.The room's
spinning. My heart bursts out of my clothes.We got into a fight. Why is unclear.
I tried to leave. You hit me. I fell.I started to cry. You kicked me.A sharp pain burst out of
my chest. I could not breath. I have little energy,I kicked you. You fell. I ran to our
bedroom.
I am trapped. No where to hide.I'm weak. I stumble to your Night stand.I see a gun.You
break down the door. I grab the gun.You start to choke me, squeezing my throat like you
were trying to get some sort of juice out of me.
I pull the trigger.
BANG!Trapped. No where to hide.Your grip feels looser. Your face in pain.
You fall down. i fall into darkness.Free. No need to hide.

I sink into plushness
Of soft silky lushness
Of dreamy round clouds
Of angel veiled shrouds
I fly up to meet
The Man in the street
The rich golden hue
Underneath my soft shoe
I fall down to find
The One of a kind
The Beauty within
The resplendent skin
I reach up to grasp
With deaths’ last gasp
The Hand held to me
As the Man sets me free

I love the way she smells after a shower
so fragrant fresh and clean
and how she sits there
so beautiful
in her dressing gown
brushing her long wet hair
until it dry's and gleams.
Her sweet perfume fills the room
and sets my heart on fire
heightening my senses
and filling me with desire.

Do You Blame Or Trust God?
Do you blame God for the trials you may face?
Do you reject God’s mercy and grace?
Perhaps you are in a most “difficult situation.”
You can’t figure out a “reasonable explanation?”
You may feel abandoned, alone and afraid.
There may have been times when you prayed.
You don’t know why this happening to you?
You probably try your best in all that you do!
But, it still things really haven’t worked out.
And you often wonder what life is all about?
Rather than blaming God… Why not trust him?
He’s not your enemy! He wants you to know him!
He’s not the blame for the sorrows of mankind!
He’s always faithful, most loving and kind!
He patiently waits for anyone to call on his name!
With him in control…
Things won’t be the same!
He is here! Even if everyone else fails you!
If you give him a chance! He wants to help you!
Won’t you take the time, and invite him in?
This is where a new opportunity can begin!
His life for yours, is what he gives in exchange!
He can help your situation to really change!
He can change your life! And turn it around!
And can put your life on a solid ground!

As the sun fades away into the horizon,
For a split second,
The world experiences a moment of darkness,
But then the moon rises,
With its magnificent glow,
Blessing the Earth
Once again with light,
A blessing from the heavens
That we tend to take for granted

Port of Call
Barefoot on a talcum beach,
alone, not lonely,
with the breath of the ocean a caressing balm,
soothing pained memories away,
to the swaying of a solitary palm.
Barefoot on a talcum beach,
alone, not lonely,
feeling the brushing away of all past turmoil,
on a quest for solace, ever so hard to find,
yet comforted by the crashing of the waves,
as the tide cleanses all pain,
and leaves despair far, far behind.
Barefoot on a talcum beach,
alone, not lonely,
drenched in a sea-breeze of mist,
that hushes the ache of bygone moons,
tasting the salty tang on my lips,
as the burnished sun,
over the distant horizon,
swoons,
and dips.
Barefoot on a talcum beach,
alone, not lonely,
searching, ever searching,
for a slice of solitude,
as memory bids a final adieu,
reaching under the sea so vast,
and seeking comfort in the depths,
while embracing,
the tomorrows to come,
wishing that they be true.
Barefoot on a talcum beach,
alone, not lonely,
seeing my truths drown,
as they slip beneath the turquoise waters,
feeling my heart ablaze,
with a passion that rarely falters.
Barefoot on a talcum beach,
alone, not lonely,
yet knowing that I am home at long last,
wishing the waves would wash away,
the defences that once stood,
like an impregnable wall.
Barefoot on a talcum beach,
alone, not lonely,
I have found, at long last,
my final port of call.

As I sat here I gaze at the sky.
The clouds you see,the blue in the scene.
One could just get lost watching them go by.
Looking for their life among them,the answers they seek.
It is there you find heaven as the different things you see.
It's not just by circumstances we see these things but by God he shows us his land.
That of the animals running wild at play or perhaps it was there I seen you laid in my arms
as we kiss each other with love it showed.
It wasn't of my imagination because there he showed his eye's watching from above.
The love he so desire us to have.
The peace we found in the sky of clouds.
That none existed why I layed here in the green grass of the field.
That of all my worries he took away for them moments I stare.
There wasn't a care in the world except your existance and me loving there.
I even seen my old dog scruff who just recently passed away.
With that of a smile on his face while he played.
It just brings tears to my eyes. How wonderful heaven must be.
Wishing I was there instead of here.
I even seen you sleeping there with a tank top on and the covers pulled to you waist.
How I wish I was there beside you in the cloud you lay.
There's many things we see in the skies of clouds.
That each might see different things but we all are as one in his land of milk and honey.
As he knows my thoughts,he shows his love there.
Because he show me you,knowing how much I love you there.
There in my heart as much as what brung me watching them this day.
That he knew I would feel better if I found you there.
That I would smile through my frown. Just because of the love I have for you.
As I sat and watch the skies of clouds. I look for our future and pray
in tears to the one who cares.
That my life may be fulfilled with the one I love with all my existance.
But there I am at peace, knowing you are there.

A sweetly-scented, earthy rain-storm,
she came to me,
thunderously raging with raw emotion,
she came to me,
drenched in the essence of truth,
she came to me,
she touched a chord deep inside,
she strummed away all emptiness,
she came to me,
once...
she comes to me,
still...
a gentle presence filling my life,
she comes to me,
still,
a healing spirit soothing all inner strife.

A new day begins.
And I take another step towards heaven.
The ray of sun doesn’t always wake me up.
Sometimes, it’s the sound of thunder,
Or the chill that descends over me,
Or the warmth, that I precipitate.
I always don’t have the smile of calmness,
Ushering the joy and the contentment
That fills my bleak land with greenness.
Sometimes, I wake up to the sound of rain
And cogitate about how it never dies
I hear its rhythm and take in the smell
And how everyone’s thirst it satisfies.
Some days, I weep and breathe deep
When I open my eyes
I feel the thrust of my heart in my chest
In my head, the horrendous illusion I revise.
Many a times, I wish I don’t have to wake up
And I sleep for eternity
Better than awakening to dismay
I’d be veiled in complete serenity.
Or sometimes, there is hope and faith,
And cheerfully I chirp,
Or whirl and sway,
To the melody of love.
I always cannot smell rose,
Sometimes, something burns too.
But yet, I rise from my sleep,
And with the beginning of a new day,
I put a step forward into,
The future and towards the unknown,
I keep walking towards the heaven.

This is the day that the Lord gave
hold fast to your trusted heart
For it is where his love he did save
the day this earth he did depart.
The sun rises each and every day
for this be thankful, it is another
gift this day, the Lord gave so we
in his light can be successful.
The moon shines down upon our head
each and every glorious night.
So through the darkness we can be lead
even when home is out of sight.
This is the day the Lord Gave
unto to him give a spiritual flight
for no man ever gained a thing
without the Lord in his sight.

I haven't written anything down because I have been too busy feeling it.
The love you planted so softly on me like a nice pair of lips.
I stopped writing because I didn't want to miss a second of the main event.
The event of love is a special occasion that shouldn't be missed.
I bought my ticket and sat in the front row of your heart.
I can't believe through the highs and the lows of our love there is still a
flame to light up.
I could travel the globe but no one could ever encompass
the south, north, east or west of your spirit.
The jumping, stomping, dark haired goddess with the face of Pocahontas.
You are truly what my heart was missing.
I have not documented all of the ways you make me smile.
when your body is planted on mines how even
our sweat combines and makes the perfect perfume.
I haven't written in a long time simply because I have been
consumed with loving you.

Lord, lay me down gently in the cold cold ground.
Put me where I once trod freely, a spirit unbound,
akin to the bird and the water fowl.
Let the spring breeze announce another soul heaven bound,
while the gift my mother gave, lies molding in the cold cold ground.
Let my kin cry a while and a while
then wipe their tears with a smile.
Let them contemplate love and family and what it is they have never found.
Let them look, oh Lord, look--before they too find a place in the cold, cold ground.
What lies behind is what once was ahead, a figment of the human mind.
Let me ride the road to glory, let me peel the larder's rind.
Let me sit beside my loved ones, eternally sublime.
Let me not regret my being, nor that I had to leave.
Let me go, let me go friend, I know what I believe.
And I believe, oh, I do believe, He I talk to is real.
For every day in every way, He makes me feel what I feel.
All that I do and say, and love,
All that I am and am part of:
For my love of Him, will they also find- -
peace, joy, happiness, and forgiveness.
It is so because He told me it is so, bound
by His promise, I carry with me into the cold, cold ground.
And when she lies beside me, only then will, I be complete.
Two spirits merged, amo amas amat--yes I love,
I have loved and I shall love.
I am loved, I shall be loved, I will have been loved.
The great mystery: I am one, she is one and we are one,
something which will not change though the ground be cold,
though the winds blow, the tide rises and the sun falls from the heavens.
As surely as, I have lived and I have died.
As surely as, I have laughed, worried and cried,
putting all other good and wonderful things aside,
I will lay in the cold, cold ground with my bride.
While for now, in this earthly form we linger, awaiting the final surrender
to the great “I am”, the Prince of Heaven glorified.
Amen, Amen and Amen

There Is A Heaven... There Is A Hell…
I met a person. As he spoke, I could tell.
He’s quite happy. He doesn’t
believe there a “hell.”
He said; “much of what the Bible
says has a new meaning.
“God is a loving God,” is rather appealing.
“God couldn’t condemn a person to an eternal fire.”
“This isn’t his will…” “Nor his desire.”
“The words of death or hell
don’t mean what they say.”
“Why should anyone believe
that Jesus is the way?”
Christ came so we can spend eternity with him.
He became the ultimate sacrifice for our sin.
It’s not God. But our sin, that’s
caused a “separation.”
But God has extended to all his gift of salvation.
God’s warning is clear. And quite evident.
The coming of Christ is very soon and imminent!
The truth of God’s word is 100% certainty.
And gives clear direction where you’ll spend eternity.
Narrow is heaven’s road... Broad is the road
to eternal destruction.
Will you believe God’s word?
Or live on a false assumption?
All of heaven awaits for you
to make a decision.
Why not follow Christ?
And make heaven your mission?
Allow God to work in your life.
Simply obey and believe.
His abundance of life is for
everyone to receive!

Joey And Mother
Mothers are a gift from the heavens above
All through life they share their love
Mothers are the greatest creation
They are what they are and need no explanation
From that first day starts a new life of love and joy
They do anything to protect their baby girl or boy
They walk around as proud as can be
They want to shout look I have a life inside me
Bigger and bigger she gets as time goes by
Some suffer from pain and they cry
There love is so strong that they can bear the pain
They suffer and pray that it all was not in vain
The greatest day on earth has come
With some pain and pushing you are now a mom
You have suffered a lot and sometimes cried
But now it is over and with a baby at your side
Now the easy part is over and your baby is here to stay
You become a doctor a lawyer different people everyday
You protect and raise them through the years
With love joy and even some tears
Now their grown and its time for them to leave
You think back over the years while you grieve
Even thou they are gone and hardly call you
They may not write but they do love you
Mothers belong on a pedestal with the word rare
From the first day till the last they always care
Mothers are and will always be
The greatest any world will ever see
When it is her time to go to heavens place
She is sent back to earth wearing a new face
Over and over a mother they be
To give love to their new baby
Back and forth from heaven to earth
With love and joy and giving birth
Mothers are not one of a kind
They are all the same with love in mind
With love in there heart from heaven they come
Before you move on let me say I love you mom

God Has Sent Jesus!
God has given a wonderful gift!.
Many haven't received it.
He loves us so much!
Many do not believe it.
He’s given us the gift of salvation.
Many refuse it.
All that we hold on to.
We shall one day lose it...
God gives to all, a joyous and
brand new way of living!
Many are living a life
that is not fulfilling.
Jesus... His Son... Is knocking
at our heart's door.
Many have said; "Go away!"
I don't want you anymore!"
God looks down from heaven,
and what does he find?
The wickedness and
sin there is in mankind.
Won't you accept this gift
that he offers to you?
The choice is yours alone.
What are you going to do?
He awaits your decision. You need to
make up your mind.
Now is the day of salvation.
Now is the accepted time!
Time is growing short.
The hour's getting late.
Come to him now! While there's
still an open gate!
By Jim Pemberton

Heaven is where we come from
It is where we shall go to someday
I believe it looks like a fairy tale kingdom
With flowers and greens, making it look like it enjoys always a great day
I believe it is also made of magic, a place I should like to stay
For there, old age and death are things never heard of
Yes, the residents of heaven do live forever, a boon from the God they do love
There, does live also, a prince for each maiden and a princess for every prince
Why, else why would we all hate world and for heaven only do crave
Love does be in all forms, mine; I left him in heaven; the reason this world does make me wince!

There’s A God In Heaven…
There’s A God in heaven who knows you by name.
It was for all of us, that to earth, he came!
There’s a God in heaven who reigns and rules.
Heaven is his throne room. The earth is his footstool.
There’s a God in heaven who’s love
is not measurable!
Experiencing his love and grace is pleasurable!
There’s a God in heaven who’s
given his word to read.
He can calm life’s storms and meet our every need!
There’s a God in heaven who seeks to give his blessing!
Without him… You don’t know what you’re missing!
There’s a God who can transform your life throughout.
Making you a new creation is what his power is about!
There’s a God in heaven with his arms extended.
His offer of mercy and grace is to be commended!
This God in heaven is here today
and gives you a chance.
To trust him with everything…
No matter the circumstance!
This God in heaven can trade your “ashes for beauty.”
He remains committed to you. This is his “duty!”
Won’t you accept this God? Before it’s too late?
Narrow is the way…. To enter heaven’s gate!
He can cleanse and make you whole within!
He'll make you clean and take away your sin!
By Jim Pemberton

Tell me- are there any other rules for love I haven't tried yet?
I saw you up in Heaven or were you just flying around trying to seduce me?
Can Heaven really wait?
I'm outside waiting for you.
To tell you the truth, I'll wait forever or at least until my heart breaks.
Are we just going to be close friends for eternity?
Look at me! Girl I'm on my knees!
You know you can count on me for anything and everything that doesn't involve drugs or murder.
I'll follow- you just lead.
Lead me to the life I was supposed to inherit when I heard your angelic voice.
Let me fall into your soft arms once again, but not as friends.

a starlight of love
where none was before
a mysterious figure
who opens the door
a flame of passion
that now burns bright
a soothing massage
of briliant white light
a wonder
a mystery
it opens heavens
it gives hope wings
this thing called....
love

See me rest in peace with 'the sickest' on my tomb stone. See me running up to the enemy while you've gone prone. You've got to be strong in the mind as well as the soul. No other enemy's will know what you know. See me defending you. As of right now our best option is to stay true.
See me by you're side when the sky went black. I'll be here right when the devil chooses to attack. Take what you want there will be no going back. Now what you need to focus on is survival. You need to gain strength if you're going to survive along side you're rival's. They'll try to push you down. I have faith that you wield a force strong enough to take the almighty crown. Now let's try and be real. I don't know how to say this. But i have messed up our deal.
I was supposed to give you Happiness and The Human Breed. Instead i gave you Untrue peace and Eternal greed. Remember these tactics they will help you fight the battle. When the enemy is upon do not shake make a noise or rattle. Me and You can help fight the world's problem's. Even if it hurt's when we see the outcome. But I love you son and i will always be with you. I hope to see you're staying Good Proud And True.

Moments to Reflect
True Love
As I look up into the night sky, oh what a beautiful sight the stars shining are so bright. I think about my Lord and my heart swells and fills with so much joy that the Father of all has created such wonders in the heavens above. So much beauty, so much love.
This cause me to reflect upon my existence on this earth, why was I given birth, what is my purpose on this earth? These questions laid profoundly on my mind and brought tear to my eyes.
I got down on my knees and ask my Lord please explain it to me. From my heart came pouring out all of my thoughts along with all of my doubts.
To my lord I did say, what is it that you want from me, for I do the things that I do not want to do, and the things that I want to do, I cannot seem to do, why am I such a fool I feel like am doom?
What is wrong seems so right and doing what is right is so hard for me to do, am hurting so deep within all I want is this pain to end.
My life is filled with so many ups and down I cannot keep my feet on solid ground. I feel like am on a roller coaster and it headed hell bounded. I pray that this is not my fate it‘s Heaven’s gate that I seek and I pray that it not too late.
Then as the tears began to fall and my heart started to break; all of a sudden I felt this warm embraces. I have never in life expected such love, such comfort, or joy, and then suddenly all my pain was gone and I heard the angels singing a wonderful song. In my mind eye I could see my Lord and savior sitting on His throne looking at me.
He smile and said to me; life is worth living and this is why it was given, trials and tribulation are just part of the deal and I know that this is a bitter pill.
It in your nature to sin my child but this you can end if you walk in the light and let me come in. My yoke is easy and I make your burdens light so just ask me to forgive you of your sins for with me in your comer this fight you will win.
Then you will be heaven bound and sin will never be able to hold you down. The guide if you decide to be at my side is written in my living words. Read them and heed them and satan will frown and you will no longer be hell bound.
Then the Lord said to me, I tell you this my little lamb, I Am who I Am and I came into this world a long time ago, my Father sent me to earth to show His child the way.
I became a living sacrifice and paid a debt that was not mine; so that you might find a way back home and be by my side. Rejoice; rejoice all is not lost, for I have paid the cost.
If you think that the star in the heavens are a wonderful sight; you now see what I see when I created thee. My love has no boundaries, it all for the asking if you put your faith in me.
Trust in me with all of your heart and in this you will find the ultimate peace of mind.
Bless you my little lamb your time was well spent praying to upon your knees. The seed has been planted and I will harvest the crops and separate the wheat from the weeds and cast them they into the lake of fire where them will suffer for all eternity.
Having faith in me is well founded, Heaven or hell which will it be? Loving Me will set you free and guarantee you life for all eternity. This is true love that comes only from ME
the Reflections of LovePoetry

God’s Love Knows No End!
With God’s love… There is no end!
It’s one thing to hear of it…
Another to pretend!
There’s no end of his love
for you to receive!
Simply reach out… And believe!
There’s no end to his love
and wondrous deeds!
He can take care of you
and meet all of your needs!
There’s no end, how much of your
sin can be forgiven!
He can change you right now…
And the way you’re livin’!
There’s no end to the words
of love he’s spoken!
Why not allow his love to enter your heart
and be “inner-woven.?”
There’s no end to the power
of his healing!
The words; “I love you!”
He’s always revealing!
There’s no end to HIS majesty!
He rules SUPREME!
He is God. Your provider…
He Is EVERYTHING!
There’s no end to the times he’s
knocked at your heart’s door.
Why not invite him in???
What are you waiting for?
Why not accept this unlimited God
who’s patient and kind?
Won’t you do this today?
Why there is still time?

I see the rain,
Dancing across the sidewalk,
Carefully placing each drop
One at a time,
They flow with each other,
Gracefully and in sync,
As a dance from the heavens
Praising the One who made them,
And as I watch them,
I become hypnotized,
Almost entranced,
By their beauty

Copper pennies she would save throughout her younger years,
to indulge in penny poker with her husband and her friends.
She’d tuck away her winnings in her special penny tin,
hoping each and every week that she would win again.
But alas her nights of poker would come crashing to an end,
with her husband’s passing followed by the death of poker friends.
She kept her tin of pennies for the memories they possessed,
their significance in her life was more extraordinary in her death.
For when she passed the hurt was so intense I could not bear,
for her gift of life to me was gone, my soul was in despair.
Then suddenly without warning pennies started to appear,
strategically left in places to remind me that she’s here.
The places I have found them are remarkable I attest,
like atop of my salt shaker, for to her salt was the best.
I found one on my keyboard as she knows the time I spend,
working diligently on a computer from morning till day’s end.
Of all the twelve I’ve found so far, the most incredible I think,
is the one left on my birthday in the center of my sink.
For each one I receive I thank my mom from deep inside,
For sending pennies from heaven makes my aching hurt subside.
This story is quite sincere, so I felt it must be told,
As all my pennies from heaven are as precious as pure gold.

Split decisions dance with time
and as each one intertwines
they align
with the story of God’s design
the medley of your memory trace
promotes your enduring shape
Like fossilized bones
Or data lines on a disk
Each encoding depicts history
And how you created it
If thoughts beget actions
And actions engender waterfalls
And integral
Pieces of your life
Then its up to you to conquer
All your strife
For no one else controls your destiny
Your apex
Or your valleys
Crawl along slowly
Or live for the day
Its almost like Burger King
You can have it your way
Of course there are setbacks
And complications
But each one contains
A valuable lesson
To resolve to evolve and grow
With grace
Never forget to look to coach God
To monitor your pace
Prepare wisely and move along
Just remember this isn’t a sprint
It’s a marathon

There’s A God Who Loves You!
In spite of what the courts
and what people tell you…
There is a God,
who’ll always love you!
No matter how courts try their best to remove him…
His son reaches out to you!
And wants you to trust him!
No matter what the sacrifice, or what the cost…
His son died for you!
On an old rugged cross!
No matter what you’ve heard,
or who you listened…
There’s an everlasting life
that you’re missin’!
No matter how many times you’ve
caused sin and shame…
You can find 100 percent
forgiveness in Jesus’ name!
No matter how many times that
people have failed you…
There is a God in heaven,
who will always love you!
Won’t you take the time,
with no more postponement?
And seek forgiveness in his blood’s atonement?
The time is now, the opportunity
is certainly here!
Wherever you may go…
God is always near!

God Is Awesome and His Beauty Displayed!

I once was lost, but his spirit found me!
He’s given to me his faithfulness! Forever true!
And spoke to me; “I’ll forever LOVE YOU!”
He’s my rock, my hope and salvation!
Through Jesus, there is no separation!
He can be your God too!
Why not come to him?
Through Jesus, is where
a new life BEGINS!

My desicion was made.
I wouldn't allow myself to be controlled.
If that makes me a rebel,
then let it be.
I'm a Rebel.
At least I can Make my own choices now.
I can love and care about others.
"You are here by stripped from your wings."
Then it was like someone had bound my wings
and pushed me off a cliff.
it felt like forever.
til finally i reach the ground.
When i hit, it felt like everybone in my wings
had shattered.
I had fallen.
and It hurt so bad.
but it was worth it.

Father song
Behold I have set my eyes upon you from eternities past to the dawn of time,
Set my eyes upon you with hope in mind
With glee and rapture, I beheld the beauty of your form,
A form that I fashioned with great expectation and delight,
I cradled you in my arms and watched you come alive,
With teardrops rain, in slow motion, in concert,
Like the first rays of sunshine over the horizon.
With it’s shimmering light reflected in billowing clouds of contrast,
A symphony of emotion drawn from the depths of My love,
We laughed and sang and ventured through wilderness together,
You were and always have been the focus of my gaze,
In spite of knowing you would turn from Me, in the twilight of our song,
Forgetting it was I that danced with you in delight at every new discovery,
I created you anyway, so you would live in a world enraptured by the absence of love, then you could truly choose Love in earnest,
My song has surrounded you always, calling you back to me,
And now you have, picked up the chorus
Join me now in ventures be,
The Fathers song sung over thee.

Quite often, I hear many complaints
When it comes to Godly “restraints.”
Often, things of God are
called “bigotry.”
AS much of this nation indulges
In idolatry!
God? Well, “we just don’t
need him!”
”Why should anyone ever believe him?”
Many churches provide
very little Godly direction.
They’re more concerned about
“getting people’s attention.”
No wonder why many don't
know what to believe!.
Drugs and sex is what many
want to achieve!
God is what is really what’s needed!
Without him, our life is
never completed!
Rather than complain…
We need to praise him!
One day… We shall all
kneel down before him!
It’s only in Christ…
We have purpose and hope!
Without him… We’re on a
“slippery slope.”
Won’t you come and invite
the Lord Jesus in?
He’ll bless your life
again and again!
He gives true life! That’s everlasting!
It can be yours! Just for the asking!
By Jim Pemberton

God Knew Me Before I Was Born!
God knew me, before I existed!
He was there, before my name was listed!
Before I was born, he had a divine plan!
He was there, before I reached out my hand!
Before I knew who I even was, or my name…
His life for mine, way why his son came!
Before I could put on my shoes and clothes…
He had called me! It was I… That he chose!
Before I was old enough to make up my own mind…
He was there waiting! So patient and kind!
Before I became an adult… I refused to believe!
Whatever God offered... I didn’t want to receive!
Before too long… I had my own family and home.
But then family left me... And I was alone!
Before God… I came, and cried and repented!
The inside of my mind felt confused
and tormented!
Before I really knew what was actually going on…
God reached inside and forgave me of past wrongs!
Before the next day was coming about…
I found a new love and peace throughout!
Before God, I know that he’s changed me!
I have found a new life for eternity!
Won’t you come before God and accept him too?
You’ll never know what he can do for YOU!
By Jim Pemberton

God Will Never Disappoint You!
There’s something I want to say!
And to make a point!
Those who trust God…
He will never disappoint!
You can trust him, even if problems
surround you!
What God can do for you,
just may astound you!
Look through the Bible,
and the prophets of old.
God never let them down,
as I’ve been told!
His son Jesus, seeks to give life
with a true meaning!
His faithfulness in your life,
you can be receiving!
God will never let you down,
no matter what you face!
He can make everything beautiful!
With his love and grace!
Won’t you give him a chance
and trust him today?
Trusting his promises,
and the words he has to say!
He’s someone who’ll be with you
until life’s very end!
You can always count on him,
and call him; “friend!”
By Jim Pemberton

I cannot see at all a cloud of depression is making it dark
You call my name out loud but I don’t ever hear your hark
You have been here but I can’t still find a trace
Evil always surrounds me and it makes this a dismal place
There’s a devil deep inside of me that I just can’t see
Pressing on my last nerve to keep you away from me
He’s trying to make me sin and hate that’s his one true goal
I’m in a battle for my life Heaven save my soul
I’ll fight as hard as I can but I need some help from above
Lord bless me with an archangel to slay him so I can release my true love
To turn us against one another that is just his start
But he doesn’t realize the strength of our eternal beating heart
To break us up forever would give him such a thrill
But he cannot ever break us down because of our powerful will
There’s a devil deep inside of me that I just can’t see
Pressing on my last nerve to keep you away from me
He’s trying to make me sin and hate that’s his one true goal
I’m in a battle for my life Heaven save my soul
I’ll fight as hard as I can but I need some help from above
Lord bless me with an archangel to slay him so I can release my true love
Lucifer is jealous and greedy and he wants to makes us pay
But he will never succeed in throwing temptation down our way
No matter what he does we will never fail or fall
He cannot break the bond we have because he doesn’t understand love at all
There’s a devil deep inside of me that I just can’t see
Pressing on my last nerve to keep you away from me
He’s trying to make me sin and hate that’s his one true goal
I’m in a battle for my life Heaven save my soul
I’ll fight as hard as I can but I need some help from above
Lord bless me with an archangel to slay him so I can release my true love

These days we all are just a bit more wiery ,
Even on common ground we have become leary.
Trust is much harder to come by these days,
Losing our faith has made us lose our way.
Kindness & compassion a thing of the past,
Because of this love and Joy can not last.
Smiles and laughter a rare thing to see ,
How I miss the way it use to be.
We have become helpless and tolerant to unjust,
As we watch our hopes and dreams turn to dust.
Discouraging words is all I am hearing anymore,
A little kindness and support would help for sure.
It's sad as I sit here and see how we have all changed,
What makes it worse is that we are the blame.
How to fix all this and get us heading straight,
There is a way but fear it might be to late.
If only we would take more time to pray,
It wouldn't be long before we found our way.
Becoming cold and heartless is what I've always feared,
I pray for our Lord to take us all away from here.
Fill our hearts with love and joy again ,
We will follow you Lord forever Amen.

A shot rang out,
it became quiet,
she tried to scream
but out came nothing
she tried to move
But she soon realized she was paralyzed with fear
All of a sudden
she saw herself
Looking down upon herself
She tried yelling for help
But then she saw it
It was in her hand
Then she realized she did something
something she promised herself she would never do
Noone knows why she's gone
Nor what happened
All they know is that she pulled the trigger
on herself while layin in a bed of
Bloody Red Roses

Moments to Reflect
True Love
As I look up into the night sky, oh what a beautiful sight the stars shining are so bright. I think about my Lord and my heart swells and fills with so much joy that the Father of all has created such wonders in the heavens above. So much beauty, so much love.
This cause me to reflect upon my existence on this earth, why was I given birth, what is my purpose on this earth? These questions laid profoundly on my mind and brought tear to my eyes.
I got down on my knees and ask my Lord please explain it to me. From my heart came pouring out all of my thoughts along with all of my doubts.
To my lord I did say, what is it that you want from me, for I do the things that I do not want to do, and the things that I want to do, I cannot seem to do, why am I such a fool I feel like am doom?
What is wrong seems so right and doing what is right is so hard for me to do, am hurting so deep within all I want is this pain to end.
My life is filled with so many ups and down I cannot keep my feet on solid ground. I feel like am on a roller coaster and it headed hell bounded. I pray that this is not my fate it‘s Heaven’s gate that I seek and I pray that it not too late.
Then as the tears began to fall and my heart started to break; all of a sudden I felt this warm embraces. I have never in life expected such love, such comfort, or joy, and then suddenly all my pain was gone and I heard the angels singing a wonderful song. In my mind eye I could see my Lord and savior sitting on His throne looking at me.
He smile and said to me; life is worth living and this is why it was given, trials and tribulation are just part of the deal and I know that this is a bitter pill.
It in your nature to sin my child but this you can end if you walk in the light and let me come in. My yoke is easy and I make your burdens light so just ask me to forgive you of your sins for with me in your comer this fight you will win.
Then you will be heaven bound and sin will never be able to hold you down. The guide if you decide to be at my side is written in my living words. Read them and heed them and satan will frown and you will no longer be hell bound.
Then the Lord said to me, I tell you this my little lamb, I Am who I Am and I came into this world a long time ago, my Father sent me to earth to show His child the way.
I became a living sacrifice and paid a debt that was not mine; so that you might find a way back home and be by my side. Rejoice; rejoice all is not lost, for I have paid the cost.
If you think that the star in the heavens are a wonderful sight; you now see what I see when I created thee. My love has no boundaries, it all for the asking if you put your faith in me.
Trust in me with all of your heart and in this you will find the ultimate peace of mind.
Bless you my little lamb your time was well spent praying to upon your knees. The seed has been planted and I will harvest the crops and separate the wheat from the weeds and cast them they into the lake of fire where them will suffer for all eternity.
Having faith in me is well founded, Heaven or hell which will it be? Loving Me will set you free and guarantee you life for all eternity. This is true love that comes only from ME

UNSUPPORTED CODE What If… Christmas Never Came???
What if Christmas never happened?
What if Christmas never came?
Things around here would be different!
It wouldn’t be the same!
What if the baby Jesus was never born in a manger?
Mankind would be in serious trouble. We’d all be in danger!
If the baby Jesus wasn’t born. There would be no nativity.
We wouldn’t be able to display this during our “festivity.”
It’s almost like this now!
It’s an “ever increasing business.”
It seems like nearly everyone wants
“Christ out of Christmas!”
Why does it seem like Christmas is
losing it’s true meaning?
The very words; “Merry Christmas,”
seem to be quickly disappearing!
Many say; “Happy Holiday.”
They worry they may “offend.”
Having a “holiday” without Christ….
Once again!
We need to put Jesus Christ back into
our CHRISTmas season!
He is what Christmas is about! HE is the very reason!
May we all take some time to rejoice in our savior’s birth.
May there be shouts of JOY! From the corners of the earth!
Let’s not take Christ out of our joyous celebration!
We need him so much right now!
All over this great nation!
May we bring to him a heart of love
for everything he’s done.
As we bring honor to Christ. God’s precious son!
May we continually offer to him a heart filled with praise!
Not only at Christmas time… But all of our days!

As the wind blows and whistel's in anger makeing an uproar quiet is the Kingdom of
Death.
As bombs go off and guns fire all around makeing people cry out quiet is the Kingdom of
Death.
As the fire trucks go by screaming and wailing. Quiet is the Kingdom of Death.
When people are dieing screaming, or begging, or not saying a word. Death is there
reasuring them silently that there is nothing to fear.
But when is the Kingdom of Death filled with noise you ask?
Death is there and say's softley in your ear "We are noisey when someone in Death
comes back to life".
As the denizens of Death sit silently in their kingdom they wonder "Why are we feared?
We offer shelter from the chaos and we protect them in are
kingdom." But then they here an answer in the quiet Kingdom of Death. They here it
clear as a bell as they ferry a person over that person he sobed
"NO! Please don't take me to your kingdom I'm afraid to die."
As they here the person crying sense he can't be revived one denizen drift's to the
person and ask's him quietley Why are you afraid to die?
The person stops his crying and looks at the Pale ghostly figure and say's I'm afraid
because I don't know were I am Heaven or Hell.
The denizen is quiet for a strech of time and finall answers the person saying That he is
Heaven for Hell is not quite it is loud and noisy and sad
you are in Heaven which is quiet and filled with silent joy. So young one don't be afraid
to be dead it is peacfull here.
And as the person walk's away quiet is the kingdom of Death.
As car's scream by office buildings and people yell quiet is the Kingdom of Death.
As people cry in pain and fear quiet is the Kingdom of Death.
As war's rage on both sides fight and then one win's quiet is the Kingdom of Death.
In those war's even when one side think's it's won The kingdom of Death is real victor
for they ferry the dead and thus cause the losses Death
forever win's. But they stay quiet in the Kingdom of Death.
Fore quite is the Kingdom of death.

in heaven I'm an angel in waiting,
on earth I'm beginning to live,
but wait seems my journey is ending,
why do you want to get rid of me?
I'm too small to have my say,
if I could I'd carry on my way,
seems my life is in your hands,
all I want is for you to give me a chance.
no heart feelings, no angry thoughts,
although it hurts, my life you stopped.
in waiting I'll stay until we meet one day,
in heaven not on earth, our forbidden love we will share.

A world of passion, where happiness is the norm
Sun is peaking out, even in the midst of a storm
Trees striking poses, grass dancing with the wind
Heaven's tears of joy, falling to the surface end
Mother nature's air consumed with gratifying bliss
Angels smiling down sending their satisfying kiss
A gentle melody, is sung by vocal bees and birds
Carried away by God's harmonious words
Life grows sweeter, with every newborn second
Each moment is cherished, like the wise would reckon
Regret is extinct, great memories are everlasting
Hate is discriminated, pure love is always blasting
Fulfillment never lacked, distributed to all who care
Happiness inserted into all the hearts willing to share
Kids playing in the fields, completely spirit free
Adults laughing in awe of everything they see
It seems so fictitious, yet it's extremely real
Life is love, and love is what we should feel
Matters of the heart, pursued in a sincere fashion
The world is what you make it, when chasing your passion

Moments to Reflect
Seed of Birth
After a summer shower I watch the wonders unfold Gods truth is being shown. His love for all shall be known to all who have eyes that can see. The miracle of life that is a delight to behold can be seen in a drop of rain on the end of a leaf. Sparkling like a diamond in the light, more precious than gold, a secret is told. The water of life, without it we cannot go on the earth would be has dry has a bone. A desert: a waste land as hot as Hades and not fit to be called home. The water of life He is known.
The air so sweet and clean the breath of life He has been called. A blessing from the father it is a Gift given to us all. When the air can been seen it is unclean and in this state I call it satans breathe, oh so foul and within it only death can be found.
Flower and trees, grass that is so green that there is not any artist in the world that could paint a more beautiful scene. Concrete streets and black top parking lots; progress is what it is called…maybe not. An eyesore, mans’ master piece his legacy, beauty it’s not.
Like a spring rain or after a summer shower; new life does salvation brings. Like the morning dew shining like tiny jewels, in the sunshine they do glow. Flowers blooming and life a renewing, with Jesus this is how salvation goes.
Rain can be seen as the world being baptized and cleansed, purifying it of mankind sins. This is a fresh beginning but it not at its end it only truth starts when you ask Jesus to come in.
After a gentle rain shower our God reminds humanity of His power and His promise: rainbow in the sky a wonderful, magical miracle, truly a delightful sight. His signature written in the sky, proof that He tells no lies; never again with water will He end the world that has bought to Him so much pain. His tears of sadness, never again will the world end with rain.
The evil one try his best with his temptation and his tests to cause us to die and never to rise; humanity he do hate want to take all with him into that fiery lake. These are the tools of his trade war and strife adding in a touch of worldly lust doing his best to kill our trust in the Lord who has given us so much. The spiritual war is what we are in do not fall for satan schemes. Heaven or hell which one will it be? Like the sun gives life to flower, the Son gives life to all who follows. He who is free is free in deed.
Christ the savior God did send, it shows us that satan cannot win. Like a summer day after a spring rain new life will begin. He will pardon us of all our sins but you must ask him to come in His forgiveness know no end. Open your heart and let Him in then and only then can you win. In Him salvation is guarantee and a new life can begin; so you must choose Heaven or hell where will you spend eternity in?
God our Father gave His Son to the world so that we would have a path to the truth a light to shine in the darkest of time. Allow His attributes to shine forth you do not would to lose your soul. Before time ever begin He love us, will you not trust in Him sight unseen, the One who gives all life meaning?
All it takes is faith to bypass that fiery lake, because tomorrow is not promise and another sunshine you may not see. Time is on no one side, so do not go chasing rainbows you cannot fly. Keep what real in your mind the reality is sin must die. God give His Son to pay a price that He did not owe, the cost was high, but gift that is given for those who believe; is to be by His side, salvation is free are you ready to receive?
Summer shower and gentle breeze,
Golden flower and dew drops of leaves.
Soft green grass beneath your feet.
The only thing sweeter is than life is living with Jesus for all eternity.

There was a city of Babylon whom
King Belshazzar ruled...
Till that one night, when he became “fooled.”
“Eat drink and be merry.”
Was the motto of the day!
But God had something else, he wanted to say!
The finger of God reached down
And wrote on the wall!
The prophet of God told the king,
his kingdom would fall!
The king panicked and later that night…
His kingdom fell… Without a fight!
May this be a lesson and a warning to us today!
We need to listen to God!
And what he has to say!
Our country may “enjoy” it’s wickedness and sin!
But one day soon! It will
be coming to an end!
Won’t you allow the writing of God,
to touch your heart’s door?
It was for me and you, that our savior died for!
God loves you more, than you’ll ever know!
He came to earth to redeem your soul!
By Jim Pemberton

Lost between Heaven and Hell, battlements of my spirit and mind, Raptures me into
the new day, but delivers me in the darkness of night. I argue within my mind, that
shall wither it blind, randomly I search for the meaning that enhances the light. I
wander through the ailment that haunts me so. Small amounts of peace keep me
driving onward, though I feel no glow. In-between both I am haunted with one
sight, Glimpse of the dream I hold so dear, with massive amounts of fear, my
menacing fantasy keeps me on my fight. Each week that passes seems as everyone
that fell before.
My soul knows my end is of a different kind, knowing the sin that I carry each night
and the penance that I must endure. My destiny is not what I see, But is what I
deeply ignore. Lost between Heaven and Hell, My soul cannot sell, this torment, I
speak is a different form I break, Not just any ordinary sin, I have no-where to begin.
No end to reach, my darkness seeks light, though there is no realization to teach. I
am haunted by the past that lonely night that seizes, though it pleases me ,but no
other can live in the desire that I speak here and now, Others have traveled this
road without any dark temptation, though I would lose all interpretation, with great
litigation. Lost now and forever my dream, forgotten almost it may seem. Distant
calls engorge my thoughts, memories chase my spirit, and lust envelops my soul,
into the realm betwixt Heaven and Hell. My dream I shall bury, my destiny, I shall
marry within my mind and spirit. These darkened nights shall grab the bright days
down into the mishap of grace. I will council each cheerful day and plant a smile on
my face. However, the agony shall drive my heart to a stainless hollowness of
discomfort my continued dream shall live on and inhabit this shell. This shell
someday shall wither away; there will be nothing left to tell.

If all dogs go to heaven I’m attend by the vision cardiac arrest
I waken for the sonic
A heed to the thought rhapsody, capture, lights shatter home
Away from home
I am sitting next to everything that is yet
Founded of borrow of youth of time
If lions share bargains ground and feet a pit of bridge where
I stand is solid as fit as a man
Is it a branch of the soil and water of the intake?
A broil of stem that is fit from dreams perhaps heights
Unfeign on to the heights of wings of a eagle
I’m sorrow past distance and vision
Throttle as a wild best in matter why do it attain only to the hungry
Or do we pray onto the savage
No coherence for the living the things that seem to be the impeccable
Is that those we choice to follow?
In life lesson the eyes of most appeal why do they say a dog is a man best friend
Clouds of storms a bridge of a pastor before we see the storm
why do we take shelter?
Is it in till life interventions we learn of what timid hearts carve
From warm passion do?
Sometimes we have to lost what is grant to found our
Passion in till we go through this passage pattern of page unto the noted
Do we pass such a vision?
Or perhaps the way we view it is it crowd; Crowd jewels that of the receptor
Unto light
Behalf unto the spirit but look unto the receptor a man I stand,
standing next to the gate
Should I pass through or pass back through?
Formal one escarole i have seen the garden I have seen the branch
On to the next one
Who is to ask the question why did i leave the passage?
Foundation of a youth my ledge had not became bronze
As they say years of development
Becomes of techniques is that a sign from the divine
As a lion fest an if an eagle was giving the feature of a human and
Perhaps it could Braille?
And if a dog scents is more than morality one intend would be kin for one vision
Unto a kingdom branch of a branch to sooth the soil of a plant
Do we see a throne to call home?
How are we so far along but like a Kleene star do we write our on heaven?
Steps taking stratus us alone
If the heaven is abroad and eyes are shattering how do a blind man
Found his way across the land?
Do we trust in mother earth signs and wonders is it the path or perhaps the origin
How do we recaptivate?
I say to think what we leave behind is that of the Architect a hymn of their spirit
I say if so let it reign let it reign when do one seek to understand the vision-

My Father in Heaven I ask for your blessing.
Blessings to you my father in Heaven forever,
Yes, God and his son is whom I am addressing
I pray for others, my sins I continue to endeavor.
Delivering my best, I will always be a sinner.
My heart believes and my soul will not sever.
My faith, love is stronger then any beginner.
I thank you for all the blessings I receive.
I do not want to only thank you for dinner.
I want to take away pain of those who grieve.
I send blessings to those who have less then me.
I plea for a message for those thinking they achieve.
My heart and soul, I pray the truth to see.
My mind and actions I give wholly to you.
Everyday I promise to try for the success of thee.
Not for merely going to church of staffs hue,
However, for believing, loving, living life true.

Will God Accept Me?
I had nothing to offer to God but a life of shame.
I was embarrassed of the mention of my name
I had nothing to offer to God but “failure.”
I didn’t know if he listened to me prayer?
I had a life that was just falling apart.
I often cried from a wounded heart.
I began to blame myself for things going wrong.
I began to feel like I didn’t belong.
I’d begin each day with a lot of stress and tension.
I didn’t feel any kind of love or appreciation.
Many of my friends began to “leave me behind.”
There wasn’t a single “friend” I could find!
Just when everything was falling around me...
Jesus was there! His love began to surround me!
“Lord, please help me!” Where the words spoken.
My life was coming apart!, And was empty and broken!
Jesus reached down and took a hold of my hand!
And told me everything I went through... He understands!
Day by day he brought to me a peace I never knew!
Putting my life back together was what he wanted to do!
As I read his word, his spirit renewed my mind.
A precious friend in HIM… I was able to find!
He accepted me! And gave so much more!
He truly is what living my life is meant for!
He is and will always be the Lord for me!
And can do the same for you! Most certainly!

Jesus Died For Everyone!
Jesus died on the cross
for you me!
So we can be with him
throughout eternity.
His life for ours… A ransom
was paid IN FULL!
Through his shed blood,
we’re made whole!
Upon his head were placed
the crown of thorns.
Enduring so much
ridicule and scorn.
The blood from his body
as it began to flow.
His love for mankind
clearly showed!
Nails were placed through
his feet and hands!
The pain he went through,
is hard to understand.
His life for ours,
is what he gave!
A way to eternal life,
in heaven, has been made!

Two Dimensional Love and Life
Some lines move horizontally
Others go diagonal
There are lines that travel up and down
They all make love within their set parameters
As is their culture and tradition there
Always within the lines, as is their prerogative and mission
For years Mr. E-line traveled from the east alone
One day he stumbled into Le Le Ling, from a line of high position
Coming from the east straight at him without permission
She was a fine line worth knowing, from a noble lineage
Both wanted sex directly when they met
They fell in linear love from point to point
Neither could continue forward, nor go up or down
And forget about left and right, as their world was flat and straight
They had to do everything frontal and did so on the spot
In the two dimensional realm you were caste from birth
To mate with someone from your universe
From your circle so to speak
Obviously they are lines so let’s proceed
In any case they came from flat lands of the east and west
Horizontal was the only life they knew
Le Le Ling and E- line were destined for each other
Other lines outside of Horizontal World were frowned upon
Diagonals were out of fashion, up and down too
Looked down upon in flat land prejudicial manner
Though “down” in their reality was not an option
Other dimensions did not exist for them
From their narrow point of view
Mr. And Mrs. Line had a baby line one day
They named it Little Liner
Raise it to be direct and true
And straight as an arrow too
In their religion there is only one commandment
Look in front of you to find your way to heaven
Since you have no other direction any way
Stay in line, head toward the light to find the truth

Jesus, Help Me to Tell Others About YOU!
Jesus, help me to tell others about you today.
Please help and give me the words to say.
The love you’ve given to me.
You want me to share it!
The burden that I carry... I alone cannot bear it!
I need your grace to help me to stay humble.
Especially when I begin to complain and grumble!
In this cruel and evil world, be my guiding light!
I know that with you, things will be alright.
You’ve given to me a love that can’t be contained.
May others know the beauty
there is in your name!
May my heart be filled with a compassion for the lost.
May I not forget to keep my eyes on the cross!
Help me Lord to give others hope, when there is none.
A new person in Jesus, any person can become one!
You, sweet Jesus, are the reason that I’m here.
You bring a love to everyone that’s very sincere!
Thank you dear lord, for helping me! I’m not strong!
You’ll be there with me, when things seem to go wrong.
I shall speak of your salvation and love wherever I go!
That your spirit, through me, will reach the lost souls!
I will share of this wonderful savior who is mine…
Now is the day of salvation! Now is the time!

From the moving of
zephyr I seek,
As the ripples flow
on rivers I look,
From deep
valleys,lilies and
roses I pick,
and meditate as it
is written in the
book.
Looking for peace
and solace in strong
wine,
but, it eludes me
like thin smoky air,
Living without peace
of mind is not fine,
Loneliness and
sorrow I have to
bear.
Then I find succor
in serving the great
one,
Unseen becomes seen
and mind becomes
clear,
Showing that
celestial rule has
begun,
I rejoice for having
heavenly bliss here.

Jesus Whispers Sweet Peace to Me!
Jesus whispers sweet peace to me!
And has brought life so abundantly!
Jesus whispers sweet love to my soul!
And has come and made me whole!
Jesus whispers peace to life’s raging sea!
And brought comfort
and hope inside of me!
Jesus whispers words of comfort and joy!
His word in my life,
I want to employ!
Jesus brings victory over the power of sin!
And has changed my life!
I’m now born again!
Jesus brings salvation and restoration!
In him, I have freedom
and redemption!
Jesus brings this and so much more!
He is Lord of all!
And is worth living for!
By Jim Pemberton

My soul I have given freely
Relaying upon threads sewn to my time
My life I’m trying to live honestly
Yet no Heavens belong for me to find
They weave like a sadden web
Stringing every ties known to memory
Hidden tears unknown be wept
Strung with earnest to a sadden melody
Had I remember to be strung?
To be carried beyond a carry in the world
My world yet left me hung
Yet were strings knotted never for twirl
An outer Heaven I come to seek
An inner Hell I’m brought forth to meet
Wounds I did not suffer to bleed
Yet... why do to Heavens I do still plead
And I fall beyond my own
Falling where light fails to shine
Yet... am I to find a home?
When a black heaven is to give its time

What am I to say to you dear sweet Jim
You have chased me away and now I am gone
But what about you broken by your promises
To me it's a sad old song, you've been gone for way to long
I doubt you knew, fondly whispered memories- same old song
For me there is and will be nothing left to do
You could never now complete the man I knew
The words were clear I was left in the shadows now with out you
Same old memories same old you I cried untill heavens turned blue
I am not ready for challenge I will not play the game
I am still hurt from the memories, hiding from the pain
Embarrassed becasue I am left standing here this way
Alone because of a man whose arms I have held so long
Caught burying worries and facing all the blame
But what about you, forgive yourself and start again
You'll be the same old guy to all of them

It seems like there’s many people becoming “defensive.”
As anything of God, is seemingly being “offensive.”
People can peddle their smut and filth around.
But a cross or nativity? They must come down!
People can watch acts of fornication on their t.v.
But, talking about God? “Why that’s offensive to me!”
People often talk about their constitutional “rights.”
Perhaps someone upstairs “turned out the lights!”
Its amazing how money is spent getting God “removed.”
What is it exactly that people are trying to prove?
What’s next? Taking “in God we trust,” off our money?
It could happen very soon! I’m not trying to be funny!
Think about what’s happening and taking place!
We’re told that we can’t pray in public? Or say grace?
This whole country is being turned “upside down.”
Our very foundations are being “tossed around!”
In what’s being pursued as “political correctness…”
Has left in many lives… A total weakness!
God is being replaced what is “socially appealing.”
Much of what’s in our society has no real meaning!
A person can marry anyone they want, or smoke pot..
But what the truth of God’s word, can’t be taught?
It’s time that we come to God, and totally repent!
Before another wasted day we have spent!
Sooner or later, God’s judgment will come out!
Our lives need to be changed, and cleansed throughout!
Jesus is the answer! Our only hope of salvation!
We need him now! All across this great nation!

“What is their secret?" it is no secret at all If you would have heeded the call Living longer than the atheist no wonder their secular atheistic stats a blunder Showing less crime for they have the sheep scared of a government that never sleeps A true Christian does so much less crime persecution they will suffer told afore time The violence done to them no big secret but as the begin so comes the end history repeats Holding better promises than this world can offer better way of life a place above an enduring coffer Not afraid to die for their faith free from fear of death the Lord Jesus breathed upon us His loving breath Violence done to the image of God I love my brother’s seen You know not my Father but a brother you could have been I forgive them all Father they know not your secret like the apostle Paul until you showed your marvelous light “What is their secret?" It is no secret at all - * A Chinese Communist, who delivered many Christians to their execution, came to a pastor and said: "I’ve seen many of you die. The Christians die differently. What is their secret?"

My dearest little garden
that grows my plants
The finest yard of numerous
that holds my beauty
My wholeness that grants my draft.
My obese garden that stays and stands
Even though you know I am a Yokel.
I owe you much
My till, till and till.
My own mine, I whole you all
Cos you have stood by me
In no place and less vacuum.

Hallelujah! I’m on
the winning side!
Jesus is victorious!
And pushed back the evil tide!
Hallelujah! Jesus has given
me an assurance.
Living for him… Is the best
“life insurance!”
HIS policy is FREE! It asks
that you serve him!
Won’t you come?
And take time to know him?
His eternal insurance is life
that’s everlasting!
“Come follow me!”
Is what he’s asking!
I’m thankful to know of the choice
I’ve made!
A way to eternity, through Christ,
has been paid!

Life is between your eyes
Life has sent you
It's heart.
True passion that
lives in the lullaby of love.
For o how my heart sings out;
And Heaven has sent you.
For life needs love;
and love needs truth.
And every blessed memory,
that heaven will achieve;
Shall rest in the heart of you.
My only wish
is to love you
and be all that you need.
For life has never taste
so sweet.
For you are:
my true love,
my sweetheart,
and my graceful queen.
I love you

Christ Wants to Be With Us!
In all of Christ’ glory and splendor…
He died, that I may live
with him forever!
He came down and lived
with sinful men…
To one day be the
sacrifice for sin!
He came to earth… No matter the cost…
He bled and died on
the old rugged cross.
He came to die for you and me!
Only to cry; “father, why have
you forsaken me?”
He gave his life for mine!
The price was paid!
A way to heaven… Through him…
Was made!
He gave his life! What more could he give!
He’s so patient and willing to forgive!
He’s here! And is waiting for you!
He offers salvation!
What will you do?
He shall always love us!
Can’t you see?
He wants to be with us!
For eternity!
By Jim Pemberton

Life is less about having or being,
And more about becoming.
Likewise, it is less about knowing
And more about learning…
At least until you’re dead.
The difference between who you are today
And who you were yesterday
Are the friends you’ve made
And the books you’ve read…
This is the true way to ‘get ahead’.
If there exists a post-mortal afterlife,
I hope you’ll share it with a husband or wife.
So if you hope you’ll be with him or her,
Start now and treat that person better—
Why wait until you’re dead?!

Am I Concerned for the Lost?
For the lost souls…
Am I concerned like I should be?
While many slip into eternity!
With each day that passes me by…
There’s another lost soul
That will die!
I’m too busy to give
my time to anyone.
I’ll never be able to reach everyone!
I’ve never led a person in
the sinner’s prayer.
“Why should I waste my time?”
“Why should I care?”
I know that Jesus wants
me to reach the lost...
But I’ve never thought about
what this would cost!
I know that Jesus
Is the atonement for sin!
And invites all, to be born again!
May I have a desire
to reach the lost souls!
If one day, I plan to make
heaven my goal!
With God’s help,
I pray there will be…
People in heaven, because of
HIM loving through me!
By Jim Pemberton

Won’t you come in Jesus’ name?
And allow him to remove your shame?
Won’t you come and bow down before him?
And give him your praise? Worship and adore him?
Won’t you come? Your name, he’s calling!
The time is now! There’s no need for “stalling.”
Won’t you come, and let him refresh you!
He wants to change and really bless you!
By his blood, your sins can disappear!
His love for you is very evident and clear!
By his word, you can be made brand new!
You can be changed, and totally renewed!
By the time this day is over and ended…
Your life can be forgiven and “amended!”
By the time you may feel like you’re alone…
Why not invite him to be the lord of your home!
By the time you think about how you’re living…
You can receive all, that God is giving!
Come one and all! And sit at Jesus’ feet!
Only his love can make your life complete!
By Jim Pemberton

I want to honest and tell it true
God I do not believe in you
I believe that all kinds of faith just fail
Hurt and help life to derail
Of Satan I must say the same
He will not lead me to the end game
No heaven above me no hades below
Yet I live my life with a happy glow
As I think of what my father once said
Makes more sense than things religious led
Do no one a bad turn and show some respect
They may do you a good turn, not you reject
I try to live life with tolerance for all
I know some reading this will want to call
Me all sorts of names and deny my feelings
As their love for god is oh so appealing
I do not think their wrong to have their belief
I am sure at some times it gives them relief
For me it simply is not the way to go
I just want this out so that they all will know
No devil no god no heaven no hell
No pagan idols no toll of the bell
When I go I will take with me what I brought
To dust ashes scattered, taken with me nought

My name may not be special, and it may be very plain,
It may be John or Mary, it may be Mike or Jane.
But I know a name that’s sweeter than any name on earth,
And this is that great season we celebrate His birth.
One day a special angel named Gabriel came to say
Unto a virgin woman, “You’ll have a son some day,
And you will call Him Jesus, for He will come this way
To save all of His people from sin and sad dismay.”
That night there in a stable this precious child was born,
And now we celebrate it on every Christmas morn.
His name is far more precious than any name before
For unto you was born then the Savior, Christ, the Lord.
One day He died on Calvary His blood to shed for me,
To give mankind salvation abundant and so free.
I bowed in prayer to trust Him, forgive me from my sin,
He wrote my name in heaven, a new life did begin.
So now this Savior Jesus is the sweetest name I know,
He knows my name in heaven where some day I will go.
If YOU don’t know this Savior, He calls from heaven above,
“Trust My name for salvation, receive My gift of love.”
And when you do, He’ll give you eternal life so free,
And write YOUR name in heaven, forever there to be!
Written for our children's Christmas program at church, 2011

This tiny LIFE
It is only a tiny LIFE,
A LIFE of God's design;
I cannot unfold this LIFE
With my own ways.
The secret of unfolding LIFE
Is not known to a person as I.
GOD opens this LIFE so wonderfully,
But in my hands it fades and dies.
If I cannot see in my LIFE,
The love that God has for me
Then how can I think I have wisdom
To unfold this life of mine?
So I'll trust in Him for God guides me
Each moment of every day.
I will look to him for where to go
Each step of my pilgrims way.
The path that lies before me,
Only my Heavenly Father knows.
I'll trust Him to unfold each moment,
Just as He unfolds the flowers

I WALK ALONG THE EDGE
WHERE THE LAND MEETS THE SEA
WHERE THE SEA MEETS THE SKY
WHERE HEAVEN MEETS EARTH
WHERE HEAVEN MEETS HELL
THE SEA AIR PUTS A COAT OVER NY SKIN
AND FILLS MY MOUTH AND LUNGS WITH ITS SALTY SWEETNESS
THE SOUNDS OF THE SURROUND FILL MY HEAD
WITH THE STILLNESS AND TURMOIL OF PAST LIVES
AS MY EYES LOOK OUT AND SEE THE PAST AND PRESENT AS ONE
AND I BECOME ONE WITH THE SEA
FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE
I AM WHOLLY FREE

You’re important to God! And he knows it!
He wants to be with you! His word shows it!
Your life belongs to God! Yes it does!
He died for you! It’s you that he loves!
Your life is precious of God! Yes it is!
He wants to be with you, each day you live
Your life is just a heartbeat away!
From allowing God to change you today!
Your life is but a brief moment in time!
Won’t you take time for God?
So merciful and kind!
Your life can be touched this very hour!
By God’s love and healing power!
Your life for his! A choice can be made!
This is beautiful! And worth the trade!
HIS life brings peace and hope within!
The beauty of him, forgiving your sin!
HIS life for yours, is what he gives in exchange!
You can find all you need, in HIS sweet name!
By Jim Pemberton

I seek to be elevated to the top
Poverty and pain I reject to the last
Looking above , my time of sorrow is up
To get to peak, I pray it happens fast
Tears and broken heart should be in the past
My dream is to spread my two wings so high
Which will make men to see me in the sky
Then joy will come , for I`m in Utopia
And lack nothing as I`m ready to fly
Truly I suffer not from myopia.

Breathe...
Breathe...
Breathe...
Breathe...
I cannot see
What could this be?
I cannot think
Where will this journey take me?
What will it make me?
Deep inside us all
There is a hell
Where we are caged,
imprisoned, trapped,
inside our own minds shell
Experience life
six feet beneath
U never know if you will ever leave
Inside a void where dimensions interact
Here is no such thing as fact
Lose your heart
Lose your mind
Every little thing, gets left behind
Experience yourself
Your deepest being
Every act based on hatred,
and selfish greed
U will suffer
U will try
U will grab everything you cannot
to stop yourself from dying
and when you oneday forgive yourself,
will u hear the angels flying
In this place,
No thing can be
You have left life
You are now free
This is DMT

Hushed to silence the city sleeps
The calming of hatred and angry eyes
In the plains of Heaven angels weep
For lives of untold lies
In which the city cries.
Tis the soul that warms the night
Where love does not despair
On wings of serenity held in flight
To the castle in the air
For enchanted evening prayer.
Blessed are they, the souls of Man
The eyes of steady dripping
A feast awaits in timely plan
With heart shaped glasses for sipping
Where loveliness is gripping.
The earth below in turmoiled smoke
A death of kingly sin
The broken table of Shumard Oak
His shattered setting of Chateaubriand Marchand De Vin
The war subsided within.
To Heaven rise the innocents
Where peace and love reside
With cries of song in laments
Those souls now cast aside
The rule of Jehovah applied.

I thought life was only
bad and good moments
that kept changing seats
I thought heaven was a metaphore
and that happiness was made of
some exceptional moments
I thought we should fight for
a better work, money, food, clothes
and that silence could be respectful
But bad moments are not bad
when we decide for the good ones
and heaven is to love and to be loved in return
Happiness is how we feel
when we are complete
even when we are sad.
We must fight for nothing but peace
and silence is never, never, respectful
Each word we don't say
is a missed opportunity.
Patricia Evans

A golden halo,
a dark abyss,
for he who sees the shadows,
may also see the light.
From the burning depths of hell,
may he also see the shining heavens.
There are no restrictions,
no bounds keeping one here,
here in the hollow nothingness of life.
For we can see all.
Yet we are to be so blinded
by the fires below,
and by the pure clarity of above.
We are blinded by belief.
For we shall never ascend unto the clouds,
nor fall through the ground.
This blank nothing is our home,
in which we shall forever stay.
Some are lucky enough
to see what the rest could never dream.
Lucky enough to see that halo,
to fall to an abyss.
Some are lucky enough to feel,
feel the burning of fire,
or the warmth of the shining light.
Some don’t need to believe,
maybe that’s why they always leave,
leave too early,
there is nothing left for them to see.

I gave it all away for a moment
I would have done it for a second
Because the truth us held deep in the mind
And so very rarely does it find its way to the tongue
Or release itself from blackened lungs
You must live to regret
If you have done no such thing you have not lived
She told me she hates my depression
Asking what is my obsession
And why is it something never mentioned
Did I make you think
Aw sweetie are my thoughts finally sinking in
I’m looking down with a grin
She longs to be up there with him
She’s wondering was he forgiven for his sins
In her mind they all added up and he dissolved them and drank them down
“God has he found happiness”
“I hope he still remembers the kiss of morning dew”
“Will”
“God damn you”
“Together we were just the few”
“Alone we are just me and you”
She is screaming hard into the sea and praying into the sun
I hate to tell her its useless to prey
I’m not burning in hell I guess I played my little role pretty damn well
“He had such an abstract view”
“I bet in heaven there is laughter only because of you”
“God does he now sing to you as if some how in cue”
Sweety heaven is made of memories of us two
and it holds no resemblance to perfection
Because perfection is an idea and affection
That I felt down there with you
Can you hear me floating outside your window I’m singing softly keep time with
the pitter patter of rain on your shutters
I came back to tell you imperfection was my obsession
In the sobering hours, I realize this is all just a reversal of roles
And maybe it was what I was thinking at the time
But in that peaceful serenity of screams I went blind
And my tears fell like rain from the sky
My voice swelled and crack in steady time
In this instance I saw the light
Far off in the distance at the end of the rail line
I wish I could conjure up a lie
Like it was dust in my eye
But I’m too busy singing
About an empty shore line
A misplaced memory tossed into the sea
And all that I’ve hoped to have forgotten
Has gotten itself incapsuled in a line
Of some depressing song that I’m inclined to keep singing
But after the rains the black rose will emerge
And purge from my heart every haunting memory
Because the power of the mind is worthless
If it is not producing fiction to soothe the quiet addiction of the heart
I hope everyone will see that the suffering
Is universal and it’s a course for all of us to bare

The pain was so real for my brother Nate. We did not see the signs of the way he
was feeling. If he cried out for help and let us know. My dear bother would still be
hear and with the proper medicine he would begin to heal. What was you
thinking of that October day. When you took your own life that ended so suddenly
that way. Did you feel you were not loved and for that split second ended your life
instead of calling for help before you plunged in the water. What was on your
mind when you put your hands up with despair. And down in the water went the
car on that October day. Did you cry out did you try and pray. Did you find the pain
on this earth too much to cope. Dearest brother you are very missed it is sad but
true. Have I not told you more often that I do love you. I feel a loss without you
hear. I wish you were not gone I wish you were near. I can't stand the pain it is too
hard to bear Too For I look to this day that I wish I can change. That I made more
time with you my brother now it too late because you are in heaven with the
angels on high I will always love you my dear brother Nate you will always hold a
special place in my heart until we meet again in heaven the most beautiful place
where we will have no more tears and pain. Dearest brother until we meet again
I will love you always until the day when I die I will join you then only then we will
not depart.

Casting Lucifer…
Doing battle everyday with the demons in my head
Fighting the good fight with the devil in my heart
And I’ll cleanse my soul in the fountains of humility
While casting Lucifer from the Heaven I’ve created
Casting Lucifer from the Heavens…
Lost in shadow, lost in light, no right or wrong anymore
A whisper in one ear and a scream into the other
The mind of my own that I once had now gone
The strength from within I have difficulty finding
While casting Lucifer from the Heaven I had created
Casting Lucifer from the heavens…

He told me “tell my son his father was a good man”, over and over.
He believed so I believed that the warmth of his last request would keep our hearts full until we
all meet again.
I hope heaven treats him kind; one of a kind that man.
On earth he was in mint condition; crisp as his shirt collar and smooth as silk sheets.
The only man of my dreams now exists there eternally.
In reality, my son’s much too young to know of death’s calling.
Besides, law abiding citizens shouldn't meet such misfortunes while the rest of the world frolics
in ungratefulness
Still as the world turns I will raise my fatherless child.

If I were to go to heaven while sleeping, I'd be talking to and dancing with angels. If it
was a bleach-blonde white girl, a beautiful Hispanic girl, and/or an attractive Asian
girl, she could be my beautiful angel. The angel of life is a beautiful girl that allows a
human being to live for a long time. If the angel of life was a beautiful white girl, then
I'd stay in heaven with her for as long as I want. What the afterlife would be like after
I pass away would be very bliss. She's got beautiful wings. If I were to marry this
beautiful angel, then there's no telling what good thing might happen next. I'll never
come back to Earth.

Remember the innocent days of youth
Our smiles would brighten up the evening sky
When we believed in honesty and truth
And swore we were never going to die
Dancing happily across life's green fields
Feeling the sun's kiss upon our faces
When we didn't need protection or shields
And laughed about lacking social graces
When the world was ours to roam and explore
The give and take now an integral part
We had no clue of what would lay in store
Yet everyday was a thrilling new start
To see the world again through a child's eyes
Crystal clear without deception or guise
Ah yes many wonderful childhood days
All too soon they are lost forevermore
Remembered only in a passing haze
Washed away like sand on a distant shore
What is left behind is reality
As we seek and search for our place within
But with such diminished vitality
Uncomfortable now in our own skin
For like the four seasons changing our view
We don't recognize who we have become
So we try to go on and muddle through
And to our fears we try not to succumb
Yearning for those blissful days so long gone
When each new morn held rainbows in its dawn
Now life has settled into a routine
As we strive hard to try and forge ahead
Like a constantly rewinding still scene
On new ground now we barely ever tread
These middle years like slow mental climbers
Preparing us for when we do grow old
When we will be considered old-timers
And won't have to fit a desired mold
Through the aging returns freedom once more
As responsibility slips away
And we start to feel as we did before
Before our happy childhoods went astray
Oh the changing cycle, from birth to death
Filling each day with promise on its breath
Rising expectantly to greet each morn
Knowing that soon time will be ours no more
Our thoughts between earth and heaven are torn
As we battle through our internal war
For to leave all we have loved is so hard
Yet we yearn to see the world up above
From our time on earth, our souls are quite scarred
Needing to be touched once more by great love
In silent dreams we see the promised land
Peace now settling in our hearts and minds
As time slips through life's hourglass like sand
And our memory so slowly unwinds
We ride the chariot to take us home
In heaven our souls will now freely roam

Even though you're gone,
you're still with me here.
Forever I await you, silent in tears.
Breathing is like bleeding the pain of my soul,
finding my way back to the path
is like finding the light
and you're guiding me safely home.
Damned to eternal battle,
you had the will, but lost the fight.
Goodbye is now forever,
and not just for the night.
If I reach Heaven will I find you there?
My question lingers in the cold and hollow cemetery air.
Frozen you lie at my feet,
your stone glints in the forsaken moonlight,
petrified by the sorrow that consumes me,
I cannot find the strength to leave.
Give me an answer so that I will be satisfied...
You lie so silent,
and so the memories I have left of you
slowly rewind in my grieving mind.
If I reach Heaven will I find you there?

I sit here and dream
Of the one certain thing,
That I know in my mind
That some day I will find
It will come with a light,
Shining soft and of white,
Surrounding my being
And filling all of my sight
It will carry me away
To that place we all know,
And strive all our life
And pray we will go.
I will know it as death
But not of my soul,
A re-birthing of sorts
With the universe I'm made whole.
So now in my dream
I’m at peace it does seem
As I patiently wait
For my time to be

There the hornets and black widows and vajohn in the village and
all ask favors to goto heaven well, if you are going to heaven you
can't break the law no even for virgin yes there is a right and wrong
in everything if you feel its a ghost and its wrong don't do it because
you won't go to heaven anyway, the bite or sting from the hornets Queen
is to must and the bible says its not by works or favors may be God
is trying to said don't do that have a nice life and a angel just blink
and wink and said good bye enjoy your life and obey the law.

The rain was falling as the sun hit the sky.
A rainbow appeared it just caught my eye.
Tears from heaven as the angels do cry.
Tears lost inside the rainbow, way up high.
My imagination runs wild I wonder what’s at the end?
That illusive pot of gold may be around the next bend.
Or perhaps it a place where all your dreams come true,
Maybe all of these things above are just up to you.
I awake this morning with a smile on my face,
As you take my hand and guide me to a safe place.
A place where contentment and love shall grow,
The more love you give the more you will know.
I drive off to work, I simply haven’t a care.
As a matter of fact I can’t wait to get there.
It seems all the pieces just join together.
I drift through life much like a feather.
I dream of flying because I know I can.
I find myself back at where I began.
Though it’s familiar, it’s not quite the same.
I know what it is but can’t think of the name.
The day flies by as my mind finds peace.
I look at the puzzle I found a new piece.
Everything seems different when you feel love.
It seems much like a gift from heaven above.

You made me weak, but from the weakness I grew strong.
You played me for a fool, but the foolishness made me wise.
You kept me chained in hell, but I escaped and found heaven beyond.
You kept me cowering away in the corner, but with release I became brave.
You thought you could take me down, but unaware you were building me up.
Now I am strong, I am wise, I found heaven without you;
I'm now brave enough to face the unknown,
And I know now how to stand on my own.
These lessons you taught me, and taught me well,
From your lying, conniving and selfish ways.

It must have been the sunrise
All the wrongs that I don’t see
The truths hidden within your lies
All the songs that I don’t sing
It must’ve been nirvana
For I cannot heal
And I can’t be your wonders
For I do not live
And heaven can’t have her
For angels do not kill
And Satan can love her
But he cannot feel
It must’ve been the silence
The doubt within your unseen words
If I could’ve just finished what i had to say
Everything you said I would’ve heard
After all of the shouting
The commotion in your screams
After all your anger
Did you accomplish everything you knew
And heaven can’t have her
For angels do not kill
And Satan can love her
But he cannot feel
And it must’ve been the sunrise
How solemn you sat
And It could’ve been the song
All alone you sang
I’m not promised tomorrow but I am with you
A chandelier in her borrowed clothes
These are the songs a man sings to himself
Before the mirror breaks
"songs left within her despair"

Toddlers teeter on the hollowed trunks and sport with juts of ice.
'Cross boulder bridges, flouting rapids, hop the agile blond and beige.
Yet in close chase, for or found, and on uneven ground, they’ll slip.
Clots in black and rose bespatter tans and whites.
Though clouds may cope the flights of cubs and fawns in torrents spirit laden,
steps shan’t be erased, where o’er plight’s edge they’re furrowed.
Would least the cliff lay lad to nestle upon drifts of pedals fallow
or as cradled by green swaths of summer blades.
For if to hope, the whelp when bade need but renounce a bed of clover,
might a father’s beckon stern retrieve the slain.
But scolds can echo no reprieve where o’er forever’s precipice
the yearling brown has left the seasons scarlet stained.
Though with the day’s advance, a glance would chance the fact all tracks do fade,
in the havens gray, in every trace, we dawdle.
It’s the cleft that blanched a mother’s face. Bereft, her tears are gained.
And blood ‘s been shed till never, like the rains.

I am a Hero of Old
I walk naked, with my life a canvas for the world to ridicule,
I am forced to walk nonetheless.
I am the object of a nation’s derision, as I walk the street embracing rejection.
But the Lord?
The Lord is my rock and my salvation!
For I have been baptized into his sufferings.
I have been baptized into the confusion of discovering my divine identity.
I walk the streets,
I walk the highway,
I walk the corridors of friends that mock my weakness.
But in his weakness, I am made me strong.
The humility to become less for the good of a greater revelation,
This is my privilege.
And though I be on meds,
And though I have breakdowns.
I continue, I will not relent, for it is my destiny to touch the sky in hope.
And recover.
I am a veteran of a war against a mind that would persecute me,
I am the recipient of a mind, that knows compassion, and this compassion torments in its
softness.
I am tough, for I have endured the rejection of the multitudes.
And no sanctuary can destroy the reality of my endurance.
And yet I endure?
Why, so I can tell my story and destroy the yoke of hopelessness.
Why, so I can witness to the power of God to never give up on me.
Why, so I can tell the world, that yes I am weak, but I am a hero of old.
For when it came time to choose between the life I walk and heaven eternal!
I chose to endure.
Why, so that you can see me shining in my glory, a hero of old.
Lisa, Michael, Sita, Louetta, Beth, Bubba, and women walking the streets gaunt, lost, but
not defeated.
For soon you will see me rise, into the stratosphere of the beauty that drives me.
And when I see you, I will forgive your derision.
And we will fellowship in that sound of symphonious reckoning,
For my story, is the story of human redemption,
My story, is the story of souls, old, tired, tormented, but not defeated.
And when you hear it, you will cry tears of admiration.
For when I had to choose, between the life I walk and heaven eternal!
I chose to tell you, that it can be done!
It can be accomplished, this mystery of wholeness that evades us.
For in the end, the two men between me, the voices that berate me, the delusions that
diminish my resolve.
Cannot compare, to the glory of his friendship.
And through that sorrow, I will transcend pity and know joy.
I am a hero of Old, and though my mind would rebel.
My soul is strong like the prophets before me.
Amen.

JESUS THE ONLY WAY
For God so loved the world that He gave as the atoning sacrifice for sin His one and only Son
There is no other name given under heaven by which we can be reconciled to God He is the
one
Jesus said, He was the way, the truth, and the life, no one could come to the Father but by
Him
Neither is there salvation in any other, He is the only Savior who can forgive and wash away
sin.
He is the one who God spoke of, the seed of the woman that would crush the head of the
serpent
He came to seek and save the lost, giving His life a ransom for many He calls sinners to
repent
Those who believe and put their trust in Him, find forgiveness for sin by the blood of the
Lamb
He has revealed Himself as Savior, Lord, and God, His children know Him as the great I AM.
He is the mediator that makes the way to God accessible because He became the sin offering
He is the forerunner entering into God’s presence and for us he is now praying and
interceding
He understands human weakness because He became one of us but He never committed
any sin
He faced everything we will face and overcame it all and now He is the way for us to enter in.
He makes God’s throne accessible to all who come in faith believing offering mercy and grace
He gives His righteousness to all who trust in him so we are accepted by God into the holy
place
To everyone who receives Him, to them He gives the right to be called one of God’s children
For everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved and receive forgiveness of
sin.
All authority has been given to Him by God the Father He is the sovereign ruler over all
creation
He is the only Savior and Redeemer, who can change you and give your life a total
transformation
He is coming back one day for His own to take us to heaven where forever His praises will
be heard
He alone possesses the wisdom and power to perform all He has promised He would do in
His word.

Won’t you seek God
with all of your heart?
Getting on your knees in prayer
is a good place to start!
Come close to God and he'll
come close to you.
His word will be your guide in what you do.
Hunger for his righteousness...
and be filled!
Drawing close to Jesus is
what God has willed!
He desires an intimate love...
more than words can say!
Come to him now... with no more delay!
Trust him with all of your heart...
not your own understanding.
In everything...acknowledge him...
and heed his commanding!
Obey his command to serve with
body, soul and mind.
Everlasting peace and love
you will surely find!
His desire for you to know and
love him is never ending.
Come to him now... please...
no more "pretending."
Won’t you reach out today…
and call on his name?
His love for you is forever
and will never change!
Won’t you allow him to bring joy
and pure delight?
Please come to him now…
Why not tonight?

As In the Days of Noah…
As in the days of Noah, there was wickedness in the land!.
So shall it be in the days of the coming of the son of man!
There were many forms of ungodliness that were enjoyed!
Until the day of the flood...
Then it was all destroyed!
Imagine building an ark that took one hundred
and twenty years!
The labor it took! Throughout the blood,
sweat and tears!
The people laughed, and thought Noah
was “out of his mind.”
But soon, the wrath of God,
is what they would find!
God gave them a chance to repent, but no one would.
So he had Noah and his family made an ark out of wood.
Noah warned them all, consequences there would be!
And warned them of where
they’d be spending eternity!
Then, the rains came and poured like never before!
The people got scared!
They couldn’t take anymore!
They cried and shouted, “Noah” “please let us in!”
“We didn’t believe you, when you told us of our sin!”
The door on the ark was shut! God’s judgment came down!
Other than Noah’s family, there was no one else around!
America’s days of wickedness will be coming to an end!
Very soon, God’s judgment will certainly begin!
Will you mock the men of God? Who preach God’s word?
Or will you live as if, his truth, you never heard?
As in the days of Noah, so shall it be at Christ’ return!
Will you join him in heaven?
Or stay on this earth to burn?
By Jim Pemberton

To whom it may concern I write
I must make it clear to you
That I do not believe the news you say
I went to heaven last night
To whom it may concern I write
I must say I feel just fine
Healthy as a horse if to be told
There must be a mistake somehow
To whom it may concern I write
I am just short my fifty two years
Far to young to pass away this way
In the prime of my life they say
To whom it may concern I write
I must say my aches and pains are gone
And I’ve never felt so light on my feet
There is something to say for that
To whom it may concern I write
I find myself in my favourite place
In a meadow full of wild daisies
I have never felt so content
To whom it may concern I write
I believe you may be right after all
I am in heaven like you say
The peace is overwhelming
To whom it may concern I wrote
I will miss my life on earth
But in heaven I am now an angel
To look after those I left behind

When your down and out and no one seems to care
When the only thing positive is fear and despair
When the angels have left and the devils grinning
And the only thing ahead of you is pain and sinning
When the good life then heaven is your goal
Just fight as hard as you can and hold onto your soul
When drugs and drink have you by a grip
And love and happiness is all you want to sip
When bills and a tough job has got you down
When the one who loves you doesn’t’ want you around
When you family is estranged and fallen apart
When everything hurts including your heart
When the good life then heaven is your goal
Just fight as hard as you can and hold onto your soul
When it’s the last amen or the final down
Break out into laughter smile do not frown
When it’s your last breath do not cry
Wave your fist in the air say never to goodbye
Live a full life capture moments in a net.
Don’t worry about everything as a regret
Life’s hard you stumble you fall
Know matter how much you know you will never learn it all
When the good life then heaven is your goal
Just fight as hard as you can and hold onto your soul

Earthly rags are cast away at heaven's gates
Every one will stand before Him, awaiting their fate
Clothed with robes of peace or naked in disgrace.
Before the Judgment Seat, He awaits each case
All souls are before Him, all will see His face
Earthly rags are cast away at heaven's gates.
Those who lived in His peace, secure and safe
Those who lived in their hate, death's bitter taste
Clothed with robes of peace or naked in disgrace.
All humankind, every tribe, tongue and race
Called before The Lord, they will await
Earthly rags are cast away at heaven's gates.
Christ on His Throne, beyond time and space
Books are opened, His decrees will take place
Clothed with robes of peace or naked in disgrace.
No mortal can escape their destiny and fate
One must trust the Savior, or it will be too late
Earthly rags are cast away at heaven's gates
Clothed with robes of peace or naked in disgrace.

True word is in Bible, Holy and living
Changes our life and is worthy of giving
LORD's commandments are shared in it
This is the way, the life and an Eternal gift
Thankyou LORD for your love is unfailing
Sent your only son it's Joy overwhelming
For its Jesus whose Spirit,in us is still sailing
And now there is no more wailing
Bible is the way to Eternity
Words in it brings change and humanity
We get wisdom, understanding and life
Every word thus become so alive
Genesis speaks how heaven and earth is created
How LORD's word was incredibly situated
Amazingly Adam and Eve were formed
Suddenly sin too entered and all went wrong
They disobeyed the word of the Sovereign LORD
Death descended on us as a punishment of our flaws
When sins were too high , all flooded with a deep sigh
Only Noah and family was kept alive
Moses was the closest to GOD,
Decrees were given to him in the past
Ten commandments was written to follow
But men filled with dirt and dust to wallow
New Testament explained JESUS's life
This is just not a man,But gave eternal sight
Bible is the only Book, which is so full of grace
We can know the living GOD,by reading and with Praise
Read Bible and led by the HOLYSPIRIT
Or you'll be astray and devil will cherish
How long you'll take my dear
Judgement day is so near
Be a real believer and leave the traditions here
LIFE is with JESUS, repent and Be with saviour
If you want Heaven the only way is here
Follow JESUS or hell will be your snare
BIBLE won't be shared then,
ONLY REGRESSIONS WILL BE WITH TEARS!!

I often wondered what heaven would be like
I have to look no further than in your eyes
For I see all that is pure and good
The window of the soul tells no lies.
To feel your presence when you’re not here
Now, I know the feel of an angel’s breath
God has given me a moment’s grace
For I have known heaven before death.
In you I have found a rare quiet peace
A love so exquisite, strong and true
Through heavens pearly gates I’ll walk
Through life and death I’ll wait for you
For heaven on earth I have known
I am one of the lucky, chosen few
That for a moment, here on earth
I was chosen, to be loved by you.

* This poem is in memory of Victoria Soto, one of the teachers who died in the Sandy Hook shooting. Victoria hid students in a closet to protect them from the gun fire and died trying to protect them. Victoria loved life and was a selfless person.
The gates of Heaven open as a beautiful woman enters.
She is holding boxes filled with white doves to go out to the world.
As she walks further into Heaven she sees a line of notes saying:
Thank you and We Love you.
She follows those notes to the end,
And greets her students with a hug.
The woman says to them,
No need to thank me, you were worth taking the risk.
She then gives each child a dove to hold.
She says, write a message to share with the world.
One , Two, Three
Each child lets go of a dove with a message.
The woman asks,
What message did you write?
The children say,
That a beautiful angel named, Victoria, has entered the gates of Heaven.

Heaven or hell, which place will it be?
We were given a choice when He hung on sins tree.
Why do you linger brother of mine?
Your life could soon end without any sign.
From dust you once came and shall return,
Don't chance your soul to forever burn.
The small voice you hear is calling to you,
Don't let this chance pass to start life anew.
Though your body will rest in a cold, dark grave,
Your soul will live on so don't be Satan's slave.
The Devil will tell you that you've plenty of time,
But God said try the spirits and see which is mine.
While Christians are praying let Him come in,
There's rejoicing in heaven when one's born again.
There's a Heaven to gain and a hell to shun,
You can't get to the Father except through the Son.

The Boatman’s Song 17/Many
Such was the beauty of Urveshi*
Who was trying to resemble like the YogMaya*
Who too was no less beautiful than Urveshi*
Charmed by the beauty of his love, standing on the sand
The boatman sang an enchanted melody
The song was devoted to his love in waiting
It was a song in praise of her astonishing beauty
By listening the boatman’s song, Urveshi felt as if
She had lost her heart now completely
She got overwhelmed by his voice
And hearing that song, which was touching
Both her mind and heart’s
And every nook and corner of her entire self so intensely
The song took her into an ecstasy of unseen joy
Which was intoxicating her mind, like a strong wine
She even forgot the passing of time,
Till her friend Tarang whispered in her ears
Urveshi wake-up from your intoxication
The boatman is still in deep love with the Princess
And all his songs are for her and in praise of his love only
Tarang* again reminded Urveshi, still you have a chance
Avoid going close to him even unknowingly
As then heaven would not be a place for you
And the boatman can not be blamed, for not accepting you
When he would find that you are not his love
And you are Urveshi,* trying only to create an illusion
While resembling his dear love only
Enough evening had passed by that time
Urveshi realized that what Tarang* was trying to say
Was the reality of her one sided love for the boatman
Again an Inner conflict in Urveshi’s mind
Her mind was still arguing and asked
Urveshi* stop the boatman’s beloved to reach him
You can still win the heart of this man
Forget about the ethics of life
Love is blind and it has no bindings
You can still make your own heaven here on earth
Her heart again intervened presuming well
That heart’s voice may not reach and break
The confusions created by her mind
But a miracle happened, caused by Tarang*
Her heart voice this time was heard by the mind
And Urveshi* realized the future of her love
Which would perish and may blow in vain
The moment his love actually arrives
Urveshi immediately decided to tell the truth to the boatman
That she was only his friend and his well wisher
Who has come to hear his songs from heaven
Ravindra to continue…
Kanpur India 18th Jan 2010
* Urveshi an Apsara (nymph)
* Tarang (A nymph) A name. Tarang is a Hindi word means waves both
Visible or invisible
* YogMaya. Name of the beloved of the Boatman.

He was six years old at his dying mother's side.
Only when she slept he broke down and cried.
He had to hide his fears of what was to be.
How scared he was, mama didn't need to see.
Mama had been sick going on three years now.
She knew she must help him make it through some how.
With her strength fading she called him to her side.
"If life is a carnival son, I'm at my last ride."
"I have something to tell you, to remember for all times."
"You are all each other will have in the coming hard times."
"Just hold each other close and remember my love for you."
"It will help to ease the pain, it will help to see you through."
The day came when his Mama had to go.
He had so many questions, so much he wanted to know.
"Why did Mama have to die?" "Who's gonna bake the Christmas pie?"
"Who will comfort me when I cry?" "Are you gonna die?"
I squatted down in front of him a tear in my eye.
"An unfortunate part of life, son, is each of us will die."
He'd caught me off guard, I didn't know what to say.
I hoped he understood. I hoped... and I prayed.
I took him in my arms and held him oh so tight.
I told him that I loved him and that everything would be all right.
"Mama's in heaven now she's looking down on you and me."
"She's with us in our hearts where forever she will be."
"She sees you when you're crying she sees you when you're playing."
"She knows what you're thinking she knows what you're saying."
"She sees into your heart and knows how much you love her."
"So let's have happy thoughts of Mama and the time we had together."
The days have turned to weeks, the weeks to months and years.
Our thoughts of Mama are happy, they hold away the fears.
She still fills our hearts with memories. Memories of her love.
Memories of Mama sent down from heaven above.

There is a heaven
There is a hell
There is the black void
Dear Heaven,
I am a good little soul
I've done good things
I've done nothing wrong
Why are you sending me away?
Dear Hell,
I guess I'm a good little soul gone bad
Heaven sent me away
Can I stay here?
Okay I guess I'm not wanted here
Dear Black Void,
Heaven and Hell didn't want me
Thank you for not judging me
I see you've taken many wandering souls in
I'm going to make myself known
I am a little soul
That's who I am
Heaven and Hell can't change me.

I will never give up believing that there is good to be found
When I was lost and couldn’t see the light, God still saw the best.
Through my brokenness I found myself and in his great mercies bestowed upon us faith was born.

The heaven and earth with all that is found in them.
I am ever so captivates by him
I thee freeborn wonder of thee mountain air
Saw that light of love so crystal clear
His head is purest of gold his hair is wavy
Ever so dark as a raven
His spirit within has beauty of the countryside.
Mixture of passion of pride
His heart is an open door of gold
With every delicacy of both new and old
As the rain and snow come down from heaven
My heart has gone out to him warmth his given.
I the free born wonder of thee mountain air
Has found the one my heart loves so dear
I held him my heart shouldn’t let him go
He’s my spirit of fountain youth to flow.
Without him my eyes over flows with tears
Time has drawn near
I have placed him like a seal over my heart to cherish
As for he has placed a veil over his heart to perish.
In his eyes a fire an eternal blazing flame.
Shinning ever brighter till the full light of day his soul is the same.
Our days are like a fleeting shadow he’s hiding under the flesh.
Experienced in battle made for himself the courage
Remembering thee time we have embraced
Every moment is carried in our souls leaving a blazing trace.
The heaven and earth with all that is found in them
I will always love him.

Taking myself to the skies above
While alive, this is the closest wonder towards heaven
Standing myself in the mystical skies
The clouds are like the flashing memories of my life
Looking myself around the heavenly skies
There is no need to have visible wings to travel
Imagining myself on having invisible wings and memories
This is the path to go through the gateway of the skies

Home Is In My Heart
Home is in my heart;
I carry it with me wherever I go.
My home is the smile of the angels that look down on me from heaven above.
Home is sinking deep into an old feather bed on a rainy summer day.
For me, it’s the sound of the wind blowing across the prairie as the locusts chatter along.
It’s a gooey plate of chicken enchiladas smothered with chocolate mole sauce and a pail full
of ice cold bottles of beer.
Home is the memory of my grandparents singing to me as we star gaze at night in lounge
chairs.
For me, home is standing in my uncle's peach shed and biting into a sweet, ripe peach that
was handpicked by me.
It’s playing dominoes with my 101 year old great uncle and watching him smile.
Home is the smell of pot roast slow cooking in the oven.
It’s sitting on a picnic table, while laughing and eating watermelon with my cousins.
For me, home is reading a book on my balcony as an ice cream truck plays chopsticks while
driving by.
Home is taking a long walk with my dogs at the park and watching them wag their tails as
people pass by us.
It's the happy place where I go, when I am feeling blue.
Home is where my heart is;
it's everything that is heaven on earth to me.

There is a place where few have been
No beginning and no end
A place where I am prepared to go
They say you reap what you sow
I have done my share of very bad things
I flew home to piss on my ex-wife\'s grave
Drinking, smoking, lots of lust and sin has helped me come out of my shell
I am experiencing a hard mix between Heaven and Hell
Practicing Witch Craft one step away from a human sacrifice
I could feel the blood in my veins turn to ice
My life has been a twist and turn affair, never a straight line
If I were to ask you are you dark or do you shine
Nobody is holier than thou, so stop the fake front
Come clean with the bad things you have done
Do a gut check and you will be able to tell
How potent is your shot will be of Heaven and Hell
There is chess board in everyone\'s life and we are all pawns
Just which side is your bread buttered on
Do gooders, most are sinners behind closed doors
Money is the root of all evil, yet churches ask people to give more
A percentage of your income to make the preachers rich
They have no interest in you, yet you are one dollar away from sleeping in a ditch
Sinners openly display their intentions in life
Wife cheats on husband because husband cheats on wife
Go ahead and pray for forgiveness for all your daily sins, another trip to the well
Here, the bar is open, here's your hard mix of Heaven and Hell
Catholic Priests molesting alter boys, they will definitely face the heat
Is there forgiveness for them to reach their Heavenly retreat
Where do you fit in with the grand master scheme of things, no one can tell
Everyone will be able to place their order for their shot of Heaven and Hell

If time cna change not, what heaven colours me
If i have petals and an ever green
If i shine for hours, a bold grim
And tears never fall nor rush
Nor sorrow of time, be my wash
Bloom forth i ever a bloom
All happness, joy and glory come i groom
And the letters of time i roamly ignored
His warnings touch not my demure
Faith of heaven's glory here has a walk
Tender seeded, a birth needed, where else wrath
Time sip out of here!
You shall threating else where
But these glories are unto sleep
Time has changewhat heaven colours me
Time a noble of the king watch else slip
Each by each green turn gray over me

Conscious breathing, a conscious breath,
Would my eyes but close in death.
A conscious breath, one more make I,
Away to Paradise with the angels I fly.
A soon departure from this old life,
Laying aside all pain and strife.
My last breath will I soon take,
I’m sleeping here, but in Heaven I’ll wake.
Don’t worry about me, I’m in Heaven fair,
Just do what you must to meet me there.

I killed two men but I never tried to get forgiveness from the Lord.
When I died, I soon learned that Heaven was not my reward.
I'm in Hell and the fire is burning my skin.
This is a predicament that I got myself in.
This agonizing pain is too much for me to take.
I'm here in Hell because I made some big mistakes.
This fire is way hotter than any fire on Earth.
I should've realized what life in Heaven would've been worth.
The flames are six feet high, I feel like I'm going to be consumed.
Please don't live your life the way I did or you too will be doomed.

the tree represents the center of the world,
connecting the heavens to the earth...
the roots of the tree hold the earth,
the branches hold the sky...
heaven and hell are the sea and the sky,
and you are the horizon........
......where the great estuary of eternal life merge , as the holy water's of earth flow
to meet and be greeted by the holy water's of heaven . the world tree serves as a
conduit to all life on earth , as the roots of the tree recieve it's messages from the
creator using the branches ; as above , so below....the horizon is consciousness,
consciousness is but a thin thread of heaven and hell's seperation .
the trunk of the world tree represents the spinal cord of the living , the branches
represent the universal mind , the roots represent our relationship to all of
creation . the allegorical use of the spider web represents the connectivity of all
life on earth ; " what we do to the web , we do to ourselves ...."
the philosophy and cosmology of the east and west meet to form unity as one
world mind ; where we stand now is atop humankinds creation , one immense
land mine.
we all have a long , difficult journey ahead of us....may we all be blessed with the
fortitude to persevere......

Dear Father, can you spare an Angel to be with me today,
I am not a little child, I’m grown up in many-a-way.
I said I wouldn’t bug you, many years ago,
But my mind is set on that Angel I had wanted so.
I’m not that little child who just wanted to pretend,
I sometimes feel so lonely and need another friend.
Father, I have respect for you and love beyond compare,
But do you have an Angel, that with me you will share.
The Answer
My dear grown up child, my answer has to stand,
I will not send an Angel from the promised land.
My good Book I have sent you and music you can sing,
I will not single out just one, and give them everything.
But one thing I can promise, my Angel will visit you,
When your life is over, my Heaven will be in view.
So live your life for Jesus the way you aught to do,
For my Angels up in Heaven are certainly watching you.
The Reply
Thank you dear Father, this time I really understand,
I will not have an Angel till I go to the glory land.
I will strive to do what’s right and just be satisfied,
To live for you dear Father and the Lord who was crucified.
I will never plead with you for an Angel anymore,
I know they have to stay around Heaven’s golden door.
Thank you for your patience, you have been tolerant of me,
Father, hold your thought on my Angel, if it pleases Thee.

Where's Heaven?
Does anyone Know???
I was wondering
Where Heaven could be
God's Word states, it’s Invisible
For the World.. not to see
Wonder Why
we can't see
Where it's at
People always say,
Heaven’s where,
Stars Lay
Some say,
Heaven is
With-in Your Heart
One Night, as I prayed
I asked God
Why/why is it this Way
Why can't I/we see..
Where Heaven could be
then came a Reply
"My Child, You don't Understand,
Heaven has to be hidden from every Human
Everyone will want to live, Here.. Eternally
For Those who still have sin..
Those.. I can't Let In
Evil can Not be in My Presence
"I AM THE TRUE LIGHT"
Then revealed
Whomsoever MUST be Born-again
Redeemed from all sins
Believe-Trust-Follow
My Only Begotten Son
JESUS CHRIST
For He's The Way-Truth Life
Receive Eternal Life
Only Through Him
Can become Born-again
Then In Time,
He’will gather All His Own {Believers}
For to be with Him
In Our New Home
Called Heaven
Come to Jesus...
Then someday we shall all go Home..

You walked me through my life from each step that I took from each fall that I
didnt land and each word that i spoke.
We were closer than ever and went out for some clean fun but little did we know
tradegy had just begun.
A driver as drunk as heaven forbidd slammed into our car and we started to spin.
We landed in an intersession and i started to pray the car wouldnt budge and my
spirt gentally started drifting away.
My brother was uncouncious and the cars were coming fast
and i was scared to we would not last.
But sadly now in the hospital wing my brothers nearly dead,
I am fine but I cant let him go so i went to let him know.
I nelt beside him and stared to cry, pleaing to him you cannot die,
kissing his hand witch was now drentched in my tears,
I quickly got because there was a tradgic sound going into my ears.
I stared to scream, yell, and shout
til the doctors excorted me out.
I dont how i can go on in life without him right by my side.
You see its the stupid people in life that cause so much pain for everyone else,
so please for me and this inecent poeple world be a smart person and
dont drink and drive because you could save a life.
Hundreds of people die each day from drunk driving and dont have a say so just
remember what i said,
because you wouldnt want to be the one dead. I love my brother so much but i
honestally believe that he is in heaven watching over me.

** This poem is in memory of Avielle Richman, one of the children who died in the Sandy Hook Shooting. Avielle loved horses, the color red, to take her shoes off, and was known to her familly as Avielle their California girl.
Avielle rides on her horse in Heaven.
Leaving trails of red roses through Heaven to show her love.
She will be in Heaven barefoot.
Feeling the warmth of love rise up her body.
On Earth she was called by her family, Avielle their California girl.
Now she will be called by her family in Heaven,
Avielle God's angel.

some times heaven sends down there angels
to bring help love or gifts
some times we see them some we dont
some say it is only in books of myths
some times heaven its self comes down
when a grate need is found
when love dies cries or tells only lies
heaven its self comes down from thee skies
in this time of some or this some times of an end
heavenly angels together will mend us
defend us win us this dark age battle
that evil has changed and placed our souls
behind temptations of food drug and sex
nicest ugliest thing alive yet the truth is
there not alive at all and they dont easiest in
our fathers eyes and evil made us all forget
that what matters most of all thee ultimate high
is knowing theres another you and that is
your soul inside now heavens dream begins with me

Angles in heaven , stars in the sky
with out you here all we can do is try.
Try to keep our lives together, keep our love so strong
be there to help eachother no matter what goes wrong.
We lost you so sudden, it all happened so fast.
often wondering why good things never last.
Whatever happens you will remain in our hearts.
doing what we can so that we don't fall apart
Angles in heaven, stars in the sky,
time to spread your wings and fly.
Go now and rest in a better place.
It is going to be hard not seeing your face.
Loved by so many, and cared for by all,
while everyone wondered how it was that you stood so tall.
We are at a loss for words, we don't know what to say.
it is like our blue skies have turned to gray.
But, no matter what you are forever in our hearts.
because of you - we won't fall apart
because of you - we will stand strong
because you have held us together for so long.
Staying strong for the ones who need it the best,
and remembering your smile to help us with the rest.
Angles in heaven , stars in the sky
time to spread your wings and fly.

Hid beneath the Cottonwood,
My deepest sympathies withstood,
Hearts desires, a world unknown,
Whispers in the horizon intone.
Wind surpasses the enchanting song,
Life beyond all can lone belong,
Inspiration in color of shade,
As the suns’ arms stray arrayed.
Stone and steeple, every deed,
Faith alone, the sound soul is freed,
Steps through along my time,
Golden Staircase I praise to climb.
Judgment Day I embrace,
His decision, His worthy grace,
My choice, His say,
My life forever in His hands today.
“I am unworthy,” I said.
“I love those who love me,” and let this be read. – Proverbs 8:17
Receive my word, tell those who defy,
Under this Emerald, shed a tear, I cry.
Tears of joy My God,
Angels in heaven choir abroad,
Rejoice! Rejoice! In my name I say, - Romans 12:15
My life forever in His hands today.
The tree, from sin, it shall shade,
Comfort in Heaven again I may.
His name, His son, there they stood,
Waiting for me hidden beneath the Cottonwood.

Story of my life... you know it's kinda
funny when I think about cuz
when it comes to love I could never
get it right but I can give all the good advice
to my homeboys & help them keep their
lil shawty's and turn em into the wifey type
but like Beans said "Tell Me What Your Life Like"
pain & turmoil but God made the child that
stands before you outta his image
so I been heaven sent to deliverance his
messages never mind my seductive
sentences.
But listen things ain't what it used to be,
you see it's this female I been talking
to for a minute and somethings different
I can feel it in how we talk and the way
she looks at me, kinda got me daydreamin
right now, I mean it's just good friendship
but eternal happiness wit her is
sumthin I'm trying to seek,
she got me feeling like M.L.K in his
Infamous "I Have A Dream Speech"
meaning she takes me to a place
God took John, revealing to him
because of the sinful nature of
this nation a New Heaven & Earth
would be born.
So you see I see new things wit this one,
got me visioning a new love life, where
even if I'm away from her for a few minutes
I think of her smile and she's what
I'm missing, so for her to be mines & me
to be hers it would almost feel unreal
but I'm love it, cuz when she gives her
heart to me the last thing imma feel is
emotionally torn like Letoya Luckett

Don't cry for me I am in heaven now, this is where GOD wanted me.
Just call: 1-800- HELP ME GOD
123 LOVE STREET
HEAVEN'S GATES
GOD ALMIGHTY, JOHN 3:16
and this is where I will be.
Don't cry for me I am not deceased.
I am in heaven with my father where there is so much peace.
Don't cryr for me because now I'm free, I'm happy in God's arms.
Don't cry for me for now I ama safe away from harm.
Please don't cry for me for one dday we will all be united as one.
We will all walk hand and hand singing victory is won.

A very special Downs Syndrome girl,
raised by Godly parents out of this world,
Who were filled with love, patience and grace,
Dad preached GODS word, and
helped others their sins to face.
Twila loved children and helped for years,
in our church nursery, childrens noses to
wipe and tears to clear.
She had no fear of changing diapers,
and loving them dear, as she seemed
like one of them there.
She had no fear to get on the floor,
and play with them there.
Always looking for her special boy friend,
whom she could love to the end.
She was my special friend.
GOD took her home to heaven above,
where she will see and feel all GODS
wonderful love, until I see her again,
in eternal peace and love, someday
in heaven above.

But who knows whose the leader of which or what tangents of mans divine plan
of twisting and changing words and accusation of lies and liars
To look for those who synchronicity and dangerously know the truth
who will be one day brave enough to discover how to baby-sit reality while he
removes the veil and helps the god’s and his children come together and return
to the garden before we obliviously celebrate the betrayal of ourselves our souls
our gods
Forever and our thrown away
And this test no mere mortal man can properly comprehend
Many victims are claimed everyday and live their lives ignorant that they are
returning to a place either up or down
Where heaven is full of denial and hell was supposed to be a reward for passing
a test of faith instead of betrayal
So there we stood with our hopes and crooked smiles
A favorite angel as the leader of the innocent blasphemy to the sucker of the
sucker patrol
And the truth under rug swept and this part of the truth, which has nothing to do
with the inner driving force turned our act inside out, and we were punished for
the lie sevenfold and sevenfold and sevenfold
And saw a beautiful god turn summers cold
And man's plan with all of his questions are things that have no answers that
causes the fact into gods heart and piece by piece his beauty that is left we
would like to grow shatters
So come to heaven with me
Pass the test of standing strong within reason and sentiment
The understanding of what was never said and written between the lines of a
prophet and a son who are not one and the same but closely connected
The truth of a god in the middle of a powerfull mystery that changed three worlds
And all he can do is forgive what he can pretend he needs no answers and
condemn wickedly what even he no longer understands
and then man comes up with his plans and those who revolutionize often
Circle around to fall for the worst grade of when what hits the fan?

did you ever wonder if god had tears?well have no fear he has all these years. no one
has ever seen him cry,but when it rains tears fall from his eyes.god cries out for the
world to see that heaven is home eternally.tears pour down to nurish the ground to sprout
out life from all around.gods tears have been faithful all these years for his son jesus
who had no fear.did you ever wonder how god cried out? the sound of lightning without a
doubt.jesus is coming and hes coming for me for his feet and sandles was all i could
see.god gave us life for all eternity. did you ever wonder if god did without? for he
created everything but he went without. jesus is home eternally, and heaven bound is
where we will be. god wept once, for all of us to see.

Many families start out poor, and for some
in life all they want is more and more.
Jack could not read very well, but had
a wife, Nadine, who could, and was
wonderful her place to fill.
She read the Bible, Jack preached GODS word.
They were rich in GODS love, and read his word,
and listened for instructions from above.
Jack preached for years about GODS love.
Eight children GOD blessed them with,
now three sons who preach GODS word,
and 2 daughters married to ministers.
Several grandchildren in heaven above.
All eight at one time sang, until all glory and heaven rang.
Twila and Jack to heaven went, and the others are
blest and try daily GODS word to send.
Nadine is 90 and full of GODS love and grace,
no one can ever take her place.
The boys travel and preach GODS word.
and songs so wonderful you can feel GODS
love, grace and mercy to be heard.
Grandchildren worship GOD and sing,
and constantly try others to him bring.
What a wonderful family legacy this little
Arkansas Preacher did to this world bring.

There ain't nothing too hard for God
He made the heaven and he made the earth
He did it all by sending forth His Word
Now all creation sing His worth
Til everyone in this whole world has heard
There ain't nothing too hard for God
He came to save and heal all of the earth
He did it all by sending forth His Word
Now all creation sing His worth
Til everyone in this whole world has heard
There ain't nothing too hard for God
He'll make a new heaven and new earth
He'll do it all by sending forth His Word
Now all creation sing His worth
Til everyone in this whole world has heard
There ain't nothing too hard for God

BROKEN ANGEL

SENT HERE TO DIE.
AS TIME GOES BY
SHES EARNING HER WINGS
SO SHE CAN FINALLY FLY.
I STLL ASK MYSELF WHY?
SHE GIVES US JOY AND LESSONS WITH EACH AND EVERY SMILE SHE BRINGS. FOR ALL MY LIFE THERE ONLY ONE PERSON I EVER WANTED TO BE AND THAT WAS HER. AS A GIRL I MIMICKED HER IN EVERYWAY, I STILL ADMIRE HER STRENGTH TO THIS DAY. SHE KNEW EVEN THOUGH SHE COULDN’T SEE THERES NOWAY I COULD EVER BE. NOW SHE IS TAKEN FROM ME, BROKEN ANGEL SENT HERE TO RESCUE ME.
BROKEN ANGEL
CAUGHT BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH,
SHE FELL FROM THE SKY
DEFIED BY HEAVENS LOVING EYE
SENT HERE TO DIE.
AS TIME GOES BY
SHES EARNING HER WINGS
SO SHE CAN FINALLY FLY.
SHES GOING TO FIND HER DREAMS,

SHES A VOICE FROM GOD, OPENING OUR EYES, EARS, AND HEARTS TO WHAT GOD GAVE US FROM THE START. SMILING THREW THE TEARS TREASURING LIFE AS TIME GOES BY EACH AND EVERYDAY, WHILE I LIVE IN FEAR THINKING THIS DAY WILL BE HER LAST, WONDERING IF THE PAIN WILL EVER PASS. SHE CAN’T SEE, HEAR, WALK, OR TALK, BUT THE PRICE SHE HAD TO PAY, I CAN EACH AND EVERYDAY OPENING MY HEART WITH WHAT SHE CAN’T SAY. I WAS FIGHTING A WAR WHILE SHE WAS FIGHTING FOR HER LIFE; SHE IS LETTING GO OF STRIFE, AS SHE LOSES THIS FIGHT.

Like an artist who paints on a canvas
This poet with her words tells others about Jesus
My poetry is a supernatural gift and a talent
That through the indwelling of The Holy Spirit is Heaven Sent
For you see--to save you and me
Jesus came to the earth in the form of a virgin birth
For thirty-three short years--Jesus walked this earth
Then after being crucified--He died
And back to His Father in Heaven He went
But He promised The Holy Spirit to be Our Guide
That is what Jesus--God's Only Begotten Son has done for all of us--His Bride
It's time to decide--for time is short
Whose side you are on--the sheep or the goats
So you had better change all your evil ways
'Cause these are the last days
And stop sowing wild oats
Or on Judgement Day--in The Lord's Court
You'll be sentenced to death
So don't wait until you draw your last breath
For it will be too late to decide
Don't wait until you lose your wealth
Just 'cause all of these years because of all of your money
You've been thinking to Heaven--you'll get a free ride...
Don't wait either--until you lose your health
But decide now to be on The Lord's side
For The Bridegroom is coming soon for His Bride
Says Jesus The Son--"Come one--come all
'Cause in hell--beieve Me--you won't have a ball
So don't delay--don't hesitate--come to Me today
Before it's too late
Come to Me--bend your knee
From bondage--I'll set you free...
So come!"

God is the One who makes something good out of nothing
Speaking light in the darkness covering the face of the deep
And the Spirit of the Lord is hovering over your waters
To give you form, fill your void and breathe you out of sleep (chorus)
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth
And He saw all He made was very good for His intentions
But soon after the first living souls experienced birth
They chose death and now seek out wicked inventions
So Adam and Eve again lie lifeless on the ground in sin
But God raises up the dead because they must be born again
[bridge]
For we are nothing without Jesus Christ and without Him nothing we can do
But with the Greater One living within, Satan can't make 'nothing' out of you
(chorus)
In the beginning Satan wanted the heaven and the earth
He saw every good thing within it and distracted our attention
Until the Seed of the Woman crushed the devil's evil mirth
Through His death, burial, resurrection and ascension
Now the flaming sword is turning to direct us together
To reach out and take the Tree of Life, eat and live forever
[bridge]
(chorus)
[rap]
Once our world was full of darkness
Then bright and shining through came the Light
To those who receive and believe in Him
To be God's children He gave the right
And now He sees you as very good
Every man, woman, boy and girl
Because greater is He that is in you
Than he that is in this world
{bridge and chorus simultaneously}
(chorus)

i found my heaven in the sand with you
peaceful waves lapping on the beach
your hand and your heart within my reach
sun on my face, breeze in my hair,
your head in my lap, resting there
skies so blue, hearts so true
friends and more we've opened doors
we found the chance for true romance
i found my heaven in the sand with you
i think that you have found yours too
don't be afraid to follow your heart
everyone has troubles but you have to start
to let yourself feel something so real
in the sand with you i felt alive and free
part of you is what i want to be
let go of your fears, call me and i'll be right there
holding on to my heaven i found in you

BROKEN ANGEL
CAUGHT BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH,
SHE FELL FROM THE SKY
DEFIED BY HEAVENS LOVING EYE
SENT HERE TO DIE.
AS TIME GOES BY
SHES EARNING HER WINGS
SO SHE CAN FINALLY FLY.
WHEN AN ANGEL DIES IT IS NOT PEACEFUL, BUT FULL OF PAIN AND STRIFE.
THIS IS HER SACRIFICE.
I KNEW ALL HER LIFE SHED NEVER GROW OLD HER HEART IS WEAKER THAN HER SOLE, SHE OUT LIVED ALL PREDICTIONS TOLD. THIS BROKEN ANGEL WAS A HERO TRYING TO BREAK FREE. ONLY SHE DIDN’T SEEM SO BROKEN TO ME,
BROKEN ANGEL
CAUGHT BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH,
SHE FELL FROM THE SKY
DEFIED BY HEAVENS LOVING EYE
SENT HERE TO DIE.
AS TIME GOES BY
SHES EARNING HER WINGS
SO SHE CAN FINALLY FLY.
OUR EARTH TREADING HEAVEN, WHO NEVER TOLD A LIE,
SHE NEVER CHEATED.
SHE NEVER STOLE.
SHE NEVER SINNED IN HER LIFE HER INNOCENCE HOLDS TRUE.
AS SHE IS SLOWLY DEFEATED, LISTENING TO THE ANGELS SING SHE TALKS TO GOD DAY TO DAY,
WATCHING US AS WE PRAY.
PAIN DOESN’T MEAN A THING.
NOW SHE HAS HER WINGS. WHO NEEDS LEGS WHEN YOU CAN FLY?
FLY HIGH!
FLY HIGTH, FLY AWAY FROM THE PAIN AND HOSPITAL STAYS, FOR YOU I WILL ALWAYS PRAY.
BROKEN ANGEL, TAKE YOUR BEAUTIFUL GOLDEN WINGS AND FLY AWAY UNTIL WE’RE BACK TOGETHER SOMEDAY.

He woke up to take a shower
She must have already gone to work at the towers.
He heard their son Jake playing in the background.
He was making breakfast when he heard the sound.
He walked outside to hear people screaming and
Running around.
Not sure what to think
He went to the phone when a bad feeling continued to sink.
He saw the light on the answering machine flash so he pushed play
Only to here screaming, crying, and her say
“Some things wrong
And the line to get out seems so long.
I don’t have much time to say what I want to say.
If you ever fall in love again don’t let her get away.
Cherish your moments with Jake each and every day.
Tell Jake to stand tall and never lie.
Tell him all the time he was the apple of my eye.
I know he can’t under stand at age seven
But someday I will see you both in heaven
And what ever you do
Remember I will always love you!
If for some reason I can’t make it back to you.”
He dropped his orange juice on the floor.
Jake stood by the door.
He looked at all the pictures on the wall.
All the memories they made scattered down the hall.
The vacation in Mexico where they fell in love.
Their honeymoon Hawaii when they couldn’t get enough.
The day their son was born
Pictures of his last birthday and the sundress she wore,
Then he heard her vice again and the tears began to pour.
“Some things wrong
And the line to get out seems so long.
I don’t have much time to say what I want to say.
If you ever fall in love again don’t let her get away.
Cherish your moments with Jake each and every day.
Tell Jake to stand tall and never lie.
Tell him all the time he was the apple of my eye.
I know he can’t under stand at age seven
But someday I will see you both in heaven
And what ever you do
Remember I will always love you
If for some reason I can’t make it back to you.”

Life on earth is a test
The things we're going through,
Every situation that arises its a quiz for me and you.
We are faced with life’s choices, to determine where will be,
It determines if we have the crown, we got the victory.
Dig down deeper, there are two choices, that you will have to make,
Will it be Heaven or Hell, Choose for life in eternity!
The test we pass in life, there's a crown that God will give,
Pass all your test, cause its for Him you live.
The crown of life that God has promised, for those who love Him so,
Obey Gods word, and do His will, your good works will always show.
You work with the gifts, which God has given you.
How are you going to use your gifts, what are you going to do?
Use your talents wisely, and use them for the Lord.
The way you use your talents, is what you'll be graded on.
The tests that God will give, He'll give you the strength to maintain.
He'll give you a shield of protection, throughout your hardest days.
He will not push you past your limits; He's got His eye on you.
He will stand by your side; He knows what you are going through.
God will test your character, your obedience, and your love.
God will test His people, the test are coming from up above.
God will test His people, for integrity, loyalty, and faith.
Call on the Lord when you need Him, oh for goodness sake.
God watches our reaction, to the circumstances that come our way.
Success, disappointment, and conflicts, we have new choices every day.
Illness, weather, and people are sent to test our strength,
It tests our faith in the Lord, it is Heaven sent.
Take each test wisely, cause you want to be with God,
He is the truth-He is magnificent-He is Divine.
Life is full of temptations; that we go through each day. It’s all in the way we handle
them, let the Holy Spirit show us the way.
We face trails and tribulation, but we must keep marching on, hold your head up high,
and look towards the heavenly throne.
The choices that we make, will affect our place with thee. At the end of time I want
God to say, “Well done good and faithful servant, come join me in eternity”.
So, pray and read your word, each and every day,
It will show you how to get through hard times,
It will show you the way.
Life on earth is a test, so take it with care,
It’s an adventure, and adventure we all must bear.
Life on earth is a test; we face obstacles we don't see.
If you pass the test, you will have the crown of life, with God in eternity.

What some call handicaps others call a way of life,
They make the most out of hardships and strife.
They meet life and all of its problems head on,
Never from their lips come a moan or a groan.
To them life is a precious thing,
They fought hard to be here and you can hear it in the songs they sang.
Like maybe walking to us is no big deal,
But to those who have no legs can you imagine the way they might feel.
What about maybe no arms or hands,
That would be such a hardship I doubt I could stand.
When this is all there is and there is nothing more,
You might think the Lord has given up on you for sure.
But the ones I’ve met don’t hold no grudge against the man up above,
They see Him as an instrument of love.
For one day they will all stand toe to toe,
Cause no one will be handicapped in Heaven for this they know.
A glorified body will be their reward,
For trusting in Jesus when life had really been hard.
They’ll be like everyone else who has earned the right,
Standing tall in Heaven no more battles to fight.

You are Lord of Lords and King of Kings
Loveing and trusting in You Happiness brings
Only You can give me strength to change
My life has been so strange
I need to know how to forgive
Give me the courage to live
My life for You is what I want to do
You said You would never leave my heart
And that You would never part
I have the hope for eternal life
To be in Heaven with You
Where there is no strife
There will be no sin there
So satan better beware
His end is coming soon
For satan there is no room
In heaven where the believers are unleaven
So beloved let our walk begin
With Jesus we will win
Join the Glory train with me
The only way to be truly free

Descending and ascending
From Heaven to earth
To minister to those
Who will speak God's Word,
Angels are guardians
And quickening spirits;
Descending and ascending
The Ladder that bridges
Heaven and earth
These flames of fire,
Like lightning, hit their marks
With storms and rains
Descending and ascending.
These messengers sent
From Heaven to earth
By just One Stairway
Through portals and gates
Bring swords or peace.
Descending and ascending
A little higher than men,
Angels speak to us
And strengthen us.
They bare us up
As we follow the Lord
Descending and ascending.

Heaven must be close to Grandma's home,
I noticed that's where a lot of love is shown,
When I'm there a peace comes over me it seems I'm neve alone,
I think heaven is close to Grandma's home,
The trees are swaying and the floweres are all blown,
It's always calm at Grandma's home,
Grandma loves all, as God does his own,
I belive that heaven is close to Grandma's home,
Grandma has gone now and left us alone,
But now I'm sure heaven is Grandma's home.

Is the Heaven true?
yes it is
i believe it everyday.
I'm waiting for it
to meet the living God,
the light of the world.
Unlike the world,
the Heaven is sweet,
and full of joy.
We should work for it
day and night
to live in joy

As I look back on the life that I led,
I realize I was unhappy until I found Christ and through Him my life was fed.
Like a song I once heard I wondered aimless living in sin.
I just plowed through life refusing to let my Savior come in.
He was always there Gods gift of love,
Gods only Son sent from heaven above.
To cleanse our spirit and wash us clean,
To share His Kingdom of peace and love so wonderful and pristine.
So stubborn I was when I was young,
Bitter and tormented with a vile speaking tongue.
I knew of Jesus and what He was about,
But the devil had control and thus I was filled with doubt.
It was a mighty long journey before I surrendered my soul,
And accepted Jesus and Heaven as my ultimate goal.
The first few months after I accepted Jesus as my guiding light,
The devil got mad and put up one hell of a fight.
The devil hates losing especially someone he used to control,
It took a lot of prayers to save my soul.
A couple of months after I was saved I was practically bedridden for a couple of
days.
I couldn’t even speak or walk just mumble and stumble for no reason as friends
began to pray.
These mighty warriors of God I feel is what saved me I know in my heart.
No payment was required as my friends were only doing their part.
The presence of God is so real you’ll not change my mind.
An awesome love for all if you’ll only look you surely will find.

I was wondering when I die will I fly or will I fall deep down into the ground and get tortured as
pay back for all that i've done wrong. Sometimes you never know. I could be destined to sin and
destined to go to hell. But I've always been good but just a little bit mischevious. Got a way of
appearing innocent when there ain't a innocent thing on me. I'm honest, I don't drink, i'm still a
virgin and I've never smoked but there are some things that have slipped through the cracks all I
can say is that only god knows the truth. Save me from the burning pits of hell and make sure
that when it's my time that I get to hug my father up in heaven whose been waiting for my return.
I long for that moment and I will follow every rule in the book just so that I make sure that I can
get another hug from him. Even if it's for a moment I just want to be able to see his face again.
Be beside him and tell him of all my hardships and all my joys. All my regrets. I plan to make him
proud while i'm standing on this green earth. I won't rot and just sit around for things to happen.
His voice is forever in my ear telling me all the right things and I won't disappoint him. So just
promise me one thing when I die and move on let me go to heaven for another hug. One hug is
all I need. One hug speak volumes to my soul.
